A Polk County sheriff's deputy filmed herself strapping naked children to a desk and spanking them with sex toys, then sent the videos to a boyfriend she met on a fetish website, investigators said.
On Thursday, 45-year-old Robin Leigh Pagoria was charged with aggravated child abuse, production of child pornography, promotion of child pornography and possession of child pornography.
According to an arrest report, the two children, described only as girls between the ages of 10 and 18, described in graphic detail multiple spanking sessions.
Investigators say Pagoria cut the legs off one end of the desk she used for the spanking. To keep the girls from moving, she handcuffed their arms and tied their ankles to the desk, deputies said.
The girls told investigators that Pagoria beat them with a leather sex paddle. The victims believed they were being punished — one said she was hit 50 times for being "disrespectful"
Detectives say Pagoria recorded the beatings on her cell phone, uploading them to the Internet so her online boyfriend could watch.
On Thursday, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd called Pagoria's alleged behavior "outrageous."
"There aren't words to describe my anger with her," he said. Judd, noted for his well-publicized focus on sexual predators, said no one should be more aware of that focus that his own employees.
"She's seen us walk hundreds of them into the Polk County Jail," Judd said.
Judd said the arrest came "out of nowhere." Aside from a domestic violence incident and some minor disciplinary issues, he said Pagoria was considered a good worker.
Judd said Pagoria worked in housing at the jail, and was a 22-year veteran of the Marines. He said his office reviewed the psychological and polygraph tests from when she was hired, and they were clear.

Never mind; sorry, it’s late. Your SD was sheriff’s department, not South Dakota. Duh.
Polk County, SD’s sheriff’s dept has recently been in the local news more than it should be, too.
I think they meant Polk County Sheriff’s Department not South Dakota. In Polk County, Flori-Duh.
LOL
Okay, let me play.....not South DUHkota!!!!!!!!
Is everyone cranky this morning?????????
In that case the guy they shot ambushed and killed 2 cops. He was hiding out in thick brush and started shooting at the cops who were looking for him.
As I recall they fired about 112 times. The brush was very very thick, with visibility less than 10 feet. He was hiding behind a fallen tree.
“Aside from a domestic violence incident “
For ‘civilians’ a domestic violence incident would make them ineligible to carry a firearm.
ping
Is she the SWAT team commander as well?
What could possibly go wrong here?
What sort of procedures does the Polk County Sheriff's Department have in place to prevent employees to administer systematic beatings on minor children?
Apparently none.
From the article:
The victims (sic) names were redacted from arresting documents, it’s not clear how or why Pagoria had access to them. However, officials said it was not through her employment with the Sheriff’s Office.
Well, at least she didn't own a Border Patrol hat, 'cause that would've been a serious offense.
Cranky, half drowned, and mad enough to eat a memo pad, just so I can spit chad.
Even almost cranky enough to ask if everyone else is cranky, too.
That was 2008-04-18. It was evidently a shoving match, and she was the one who called the cops.
 William Brooks Pagoria, Jr. |
Adding in info from the Pagoria family genealogy site, it appears William Brooks is also an ex-marine. They have four kids (three girls and a boy). He is three years younger than she.
‘It was evidently a shoving match, and she was the one who called the cops. “
Doesn’t matter who called the cops.
True. But it was very stupid for them not to have just made up, with neither of them calling the cops.
Missizzyspeculates she may have been ratted out by a lurker on the internet forum where she met her boyfriend. Seems she was looking forward to a visit from him right about now:
Pagoria admitted just about everything from the beginning (other than sending the videos to the man) and was arrested without incident. Being that she was expecting a visit from this man near the end of May and LE got a tip and interviewed the children on the 25th, I have to think that someone was reading her profile on the spanking site and saw the writing on the wall. She gave out enough info on her profile that most of us could have located her. If so, they did the right thing.
If that ridicious standard was held for every employer ?
You are right about sheriff Grandy he is one of the best in Florida
The worst part is the fact that this is a police officer, and a woman who could have been a mother at around this age as well. God help whomever in her family may have been looking up to her, because they’re probably dealing with the shock of their life right now.
