THE CHURCH BEHIND ME, AGAIN,
7:00 P.M. RIGHT HERE ON GUM
STREET.
I LIVE IN BERNADINO BEACH,
FRANCESCA, CHANNEL 4, YOUR
LOCAL STATION.
AND I-TEAM INVESTIGATION,
TO JACKSONVILLE LEASE OFFICERS
UNDER FIRE FOR UNRELATED
OFFENSES.
WE ARE HAVE LEARNED THERE IS
NEW TROUBLE FOR THIS OFFICER,
ALREADY FACING A GRANT THAT
CHARGE.
WHAT INTERNAL AFFAIRS AS
UNCOVERED ABOUT HIS USE OF
PROSTITUTES PLUS, NEW
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CASE OF A
KEY OFFICER IN THIS VIDEO WAS
ARRESTED LAST WEEK FOR GETTING
THIS WOMAN WHO WAS HANDCUFFED
AND ABOUT TO BE BOOKED INTO THE
DUVAL COUNTY JAIL.
YET HE WENT STRAIGHT TO SHERIFF
WEEMS TODAY TO ASK IF THESE TWO
CASES ARE A BLACK I-4 HIS
DEPARTMENT, AND HE IS
RESPONDING TO OUR QUESTIONS.
Woman: ACTING OF
INVESTIGATORS IS UNCOVERING NEW
DETAILS ABOUT BOTH CASES.
AND WE ARE STANDING BY WITH THE
STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ABOUT
THE OFFICER BEANIE A WOMAN AND
TAKE US.
BUT FIRST, LINDSAY GARNER JOINS
US TO TELLS WHY AN OFFICER
CHARGED WITH SEX WITH
PROSTITUTES WILL NOT BE
CRIMINALLY CHARGED.
MARY, 29 PAGE INTERNAL
AFFAIRS ALLEGATION SAID THAT
THE CHARGES WERE SUSTAINED OR
BELIEVABLE.
BUT, IT CAME DOWN TO WHAT CAN
BE PROVEN IN COURT, AND THAT IS
WHY HE WILL NOT BE CRIMINALLY
CHARGED WITH SEXUAL BATTERY AND
WE ALSO LEARNED DETECTIVES
STUMBLED ON THE CASE WILL
INTERVENE PROSTITUTES IN A
SEPARATE CASE INVOLVING HUMAN
TRAFFICKING.
A SMILING ADAM BOYD HAND IN
HAND WITH THEN SHERIFF JOHN
RUTHERFORD AWARDED OFFICER OF
THE MONTH BACK IN 2014.AT THE
VERY SAME TIME, THIS INTERNAL
AFFAIRS REPORT FIRST OBTAINED
BY THE IT SAID BOYD WAS ALSO
KNOWINGLY SLEEPING WITH AT
LEAST TWO PROSTITUTES WHILE IN
UNIFORM, ARMED WITH HIS J AS
THOUGH ISSUED GUN, AND WRITING
IN HIS J IS SO PATROL CAR.
THE OFFICER TOLD THE WOMAN HIS
NAME IS ANDY, NOT ADAM.
IN ONE PROSTITUTE SAID SHE HAD
SEX WITH ANDY SEVERAL TIMES IN
EXCHANGE FOR INFORMATION.
THERE REPORT WAS LACED WITH
SALACIOUS DETAILS ABOUT THE
ENCOUNTERS, AND DETAILS OF THE
OFFICER ADVISED PEOPLE LOOK OUT
FOR THEM TO MAKE SURE NOBODY
INVESTIGATED THEM WITH THEIR
BACK PAGE STUFF.
THE I-TEAM FOUND BACK PAGES A
WEBSITE WHERE PROSTITUTES OFTEN
ADVERTISE THEIR SERVICES.
THE ITUNES ALSO FIND
ALLEGATIONS WENT BACK TO 2013,
THE SAME YEAR WE UNCOVERED
OFFICER BOYD AND THEN DIVORCE
HIS WIFE, A DUVAL COUNTY
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
BUT, ONE WOMAN TOLD THE IT IN
THE JS O INTEGRITY UNIT IT WAS
MUCH MORE SINISTER.
ACCUSING POINT OF FORCING
HIMSELF ON HER.
THE VICTIM ADVISED SHE FELT SHE
WOULD BE ARRESTED ON BOTH
OCCASIONS.
SHE DID NOT ALLOW THE SEX TO
OCCUR.
SHE FURTHER ADDED SHE DID NOT
RESIST EITHER TIME, BECAUSE HE
WASN'T ARMED LEASE OFFICER.
THE I-TEAM COUNTY SHERIFF'S
OFFICE BEGAN INVESTIGATING ADAM
BOYD ON THESE ACCUSATIONS OF
SEX WITH PROSTITUTES IN
JANUARY.
EVEN CONDUCTED UNDER COVER
SURVEILLANCE.
THEY ALSO DETERMINED BOY WAS
COMMITTING THEFT FOR LOCKING
HOURS HE WAS NOT FULLY WORKING
ON A SECURITY DETAIL AND TAKING
MONEY FOR IT.
IN APRIL, THEY PULLED THE FILES
ON BOTH INVESTIGATIONS AND
ARRESTED ADAM BOYD FOR THEFT.
NO CHARGES WOULD BE BROUGHT
BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE
REPORT, PROBABLE CAUSE DOES
EXIST TO ARREST BOYD FOR SEXUAL
BATTERY.
HOWEVER, DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD
OF NOT RECEIVING A CONVICTION,
ANTI- ADVISED HIS OFFICE WOULD
NOT ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT AND
WOULD NOT SEEK PROSECUTION.
MANTI CITED A LACK OF
ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE FROM FILING
A CHARGE AGAINST BOYD.
HE WORKS FOR THE STATE
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
THE IT CONTRACT ON.[CHEERING]
WEEMS TODAY AND ASKED THIS IS A
WI-FI ON THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE,
WHEN THE TWO OFFICERS COMING
UNDER FIRE IN RECENT WEEKS,
INCLUDING A DECORATED OFFICER
LIKE ADAM BOYD.
Man: YOU KNOW, I THINK WE
HAVE TO LOOK AT EACH CASE
INDIVIDUALLY.
OBVIOUSLY, WE DO STEP BACK AND
TAKE A 10,000 FOOT VIEW OF THIS
AND SAY WE HAVE AN ISSUE
SOMEWHERE IN THE DEPARTMENT.
ARE WE MISSING SOMETHING AT
SOME LEVEL INSIDE THE
DEPARTMENT?
WE ALWAYS DO THAT.
THIS CASE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT I
THINK WE STILL HAVE.
I THINK WE FINISHED IT UP
TODAY.
SO I HAVE NOT REVIEWED IT AS OF
YET AT THIS POINT, BUT I KNOW
THE BASICS OF WHAT WAS GOING
ON.
AGAIN, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR US TO LOOK BACK AND SEE ANY
PRIOR DISCIPLINE IN HIRING, DID
WE MISS THE BOAT SOMEWHERE?
THE ACTING REACHED OUT TO
THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WHO
CONFIRMED THAT THEIR DECISION
CAME DOWN TO A HIGHER BURDEN OF
PROOF IN A LACK OF PHYSICAL
EVIDENCE.
ADAM BOYD RESIGNED A DAY AFTER
HIS ARREST OF GRAND THEFT.
COMING UP, ALL NEW AT 10:00,
