Former Fed Agent Pleads Guilty to Exposing Self

An ex-top federal agent has pleaded no contest to exposing himself at a mall last year.

The trial of Frank Figueroa was supposed to begin tomorrow. In October, the former head of Immigrations and Customs was accused of rubbing himself while staring at a girl in the Food Court of the Mall at Millenia.

Until now, Figueroa said the full story had not been told. His attorney even got a delay in the trial as they worked through depositions from the alleged victim, and waited for color photos of surveillance video from the mall. This morning, he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of exposing his sex organs and disorderly conduct.

Figueroa will be sentenced next month.

- kind of a buried blurb -

Frank Figueroa, head of the ICE office in Tampa, Florida,
was arrested on Oct. 25 for exposing his genitals to a 16
year-old girl at a shopping mall food court. He was freed
hours later on a $500 cash bond after being charged with
exposure of sexual organs and disorderly conduct in a
public food establishment. ICE has placed Figueroa on
administrative leave and launched an internal
investigation. A week earlier, agents under his charge had
busted a prostitution ring and Figueroa had issued a
statement with US Attorney Paul Perez promising to
vigorously pursue sex crimes. AP 10/26/05]

8. Wow. Smell the hypocrisy.

I guess when he said he would "vigorously pursue sex crimes," he meant he'd pursue COMMITTING them, not prosecuting them.

excerpt:

In interviews with police, Doyle confessed and has agreed to waive extradition to Florida from Maryland, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. (Watch deputies take Doyle away in cuffs -- 3:18)

Doyle also sent photos of himself that were not sexually explicit but said he would send nude photos if the "girl" would buy a Web camera and send him nude photos, according to authorities. In one photo, Doyle's Department of Homeland Security tag is visible, Judd said.

"Many of the conversations he initiated ... are too extraordinary and graphic for public release," a statement from the sheriff's office said.

"I read the transcripts," Judd said. "I wanted to see if this was just as outrageous as the detectives depicted it. ... It shocked all of us who have worked vice, narcotics, organized crime, homicides."

9. Doesnt he know about the camera-free mall for pervs off Highway 9?

[nashville_brook]

14. hypocrisy, or is this a case of an addict staying close to his stash?

this guy was a special agent in charge of going after sex traffickers in central florida.
he was also a member of the Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention


he's described by coworkers as having a self-styled Miami Vice appearance with gold chains and $1,000 suits, too.
