A veteran deputy with the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office resigned after an internal investigation revealed her involvement in adult videos.
The 44-year-old officer, who had worked in law enforcement for over two decades, said financial struggles pushed her to make this controversial decision.
Sheriff's Office Investigates Deputy’s Secret Side Job
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office launched an internal investigation after discovering that one of their deputies was appearing in adult films.
The deputy admitted she had violated department policies by not seeking approval for secondary employment, which was required by the office’s rules.
The sheriff’s department has not disclosed how they became aware of her involvement in the adult industry.
The deputy explained that she had been aware of the policy but felt the financial pressures she faced left her with few options.
She acknowledged that her decision likely violated department guidelines but said she felt desperate and unable to make ends meet otherwise.
The investigation continues, but the department has refrained from commenting further due to privacy and due process concerns.
Financial Crisis Drives Deputy to Adult Industry
The deputy revealed that her decision to appear in adult videos was driven by a series of financial hardships.
A severe storm in 2023 caused significant damage to her home, leaving her with half a million dollars in repairs that insurance did not cover.
The deputy also faced a steep increase in her mortgage payments due to rising interest rates and struggled with the higher cost of living, including utilities, food, and gas.
With little savings left and foreclosure proceedings on her home starting, she turned to the adult video industry as a way to quickly raise money.
She explained that she was running out of options and believed this was the only way to protect her family’s home.
Despite the difficulties, she found the adult industry to be professional and free from any coercion.
Deputy Resigns: What’s Next for Her Career?
After submitting her resignation from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, the deputy is now contemplating her future.
She said she has not ruled out continuing in the adult film industry, though she has not made a final decision.
Despite the controversy surrounding her actions, she noted that many law enforcement officers are facing similar financial challenges and are seeking additional income sources.
The deputy, who had spent years in a role she loved, reflected on her career in law enforcement and the difficult choices she had to make.
She emphasized that her decision was made out of desperation, recognizing that it may not be the ideal solution, but it was the only one that worked at the time.
