A 26-year-old Central Florida deputy is under arrest for video voyeurism following an investigation.
On May 6, 2024, the Tampa Police Department began investigating a cyber tip, which led them to discover Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputy Justin DiBiase, a deputy in the DUI Unit, illegally recorded victims in the bathroom of his residence in June 2021.
Through investigative means, detectives determined a camera was placed in the bathroom, pointing in the direction of the toilet and shower, recording explicit videos of two victims.
“I am disgusted and deeply disappointed by the actions of this individual. This is not only a violation of trust towards the victims but also a profound betrayal of the badge,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Deputies are sworn to protect and serve our community, but behind closed doors, he was a criminal himself. We hold our deputies to the highest standards, and when one falls so far from those standards, it is our duty to ensure they face the full weight of their consequences.”
On August 22nd, DiBiase turned himself in at the Orient Road Jail after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was taken into custody without incident.
DiBiase is now charged with Video Voyeurism (Defendant 19 or Older) (x3).
According to local law enforcement, DiBiase was hired in March 2021 and had no significant disciplinary history.
Exactly why absolutely no one can trust anyone! What a disgusting move dude frfr
You literally just ruined your entire career for a video of a female using the bathroom/shower… I mean seriously… I’m almost certain there are some girls that will let you shoot a video or snap a picture or two.. if you would have just asked her but you violated these young people and invaded their privacy during their most vulnerable times. You are a washout and a would’ve been but most of all YOU ARE A P.O.S PERSON THAT HAS HOPEFULLY BEEN ARRESTED AND/OR FIRED AS WELL AS YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SEEK EMPLOYMENT OR BE HIRED WITH ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!! AND SHOULD BE MANDATED TO REGISTER AS A SEXUAL PREDATOR/OFFENDER FOR THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE… PERIOD??? (RANT OVER) #SORRYNOTSORRY
