The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a former Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office detention deputy on child pornography charges.
Detectives with HCSO’s Internet Predator Unit obtained a search warrant for a home in Lutz after receiving a tip from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office after the arrest of 33-year-old PCSO Detention Deputy Trevor Willis.
Willis was arrested by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office on multiple child pornography charges. He resigned from his position that same day.
After a thorough investigation, HCSO detectives found further pornographic material on a social media application linked to Willis.
Willis was arrested without incident in Central Florida on July 17th, and is facing the following charges of Possession of Child Pornography (x9).
“These vile actions have no place in our community, and the betrayal of trust by someone who swore to protect and serve is deeply disturbing,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “However, I am immensely proud of the collaboration among all the detectives involved. Their thorough investigation and teamwork have brought this criminal to justice, showing the integrity and commitment we uphold in serving our community.”
