At the FBI, a history of hiring prostitutes or stealing from employer may no longer be a barrier to being hired
CBS News ^ | 08/28/2026 | Sarah N. Lynch, Daniel Klaidman

The FBI previously refused to hire job applicants if they admitted to hiring sex workers or stealing from an employer — or engaging in acts of bestiality.

Today, those acts, which are mostly illegal across the country, are no longer automatic deal breakers for applicants to the nation's top law enforcement agency.

In June, the FBI quietly lowered some of the standards it uses when it conducts background checks on would-be federal agents and other personnel. According to multiple sources briefed on the matter, the FBI did so to facilitate hiring in some cases, even if candidates acknowledged they engaged in sexually deviant activities or stole from an employer.

The move comes as the FBI has lost scores of employees through firings, retirements and resignations since the start of the Trump administration.

Under specific circumstances, the FBI is willing to give candidates a pass on prostitution, as long as they have not hired sex workers three or more times, the sources told CBS News. And the hiring of the sex workers must not have taken place within the last 10 years, several of the sources added.

On this part of the guidance, the FBI spokesperson pointed out that a person may have hired a sex worker in a location where prostitution is legal.

A person who was in a position of "trust" who solicited sex would still be automatically disqualified from FBI employment, one of the sources with direct knowledge of the changes told CBS News.

Examples of positions of trust, according to the FBI's new policy, are those who work in the fields of public safety, education, health, social work, finance or law. Being a member of the military was not among the listed categories, and it was not clear if they would be treated as such.

Sodomy probably puts you at the top of the list, like it does for adoption and foster parenting.

“or engaging in acts of bestiality.”

“How many different types of animals did you have sex with?”

Sometimes there are just no words.

Military men and probably most men have indulged in a pretty girl for money, whether seduced as a GI or while having a drink in a nice hotel.

The prostitution experience is useful because you can use your contacts to set up honey-pot operations for political candidates to be blackmailed.

Embezzlement is handy to, as you can use your blackmailed candidate to funnel money away from campaign donations.

Makes sense, at least compared to the crimes that the FBI commits. They’d be hypocrites by not hiring such ‘amateurs’.

Has our society sunk so low that there aren’t enough moral people to hire?

Wow, all the lowered standards makes the FBI tent big enough for plenty of slimy, demented DemocRATz.

I can remember when sexual perversion disqualified you from even the most rudimentary security clearance. It’s was rightly thought that such a person would be easily compromised.

With all of the corruption the FBI and other alphabet agencies have been involved in, we should be strengthening our moral and ethical standards not lowering them.

I find this fully believable in the Biden and obama regimes, but doubtful in the Trump era. The article is from See BS and the exact sources are not listed. This makes the article questionable.

So, in other words, AOC’s ex husband can join.

I will wait for Kash Patel’s comments on this report before passing judgment.

That assumed you might be embarrassed by the disclosure. No such thing as embarrassment now.

That beastilaity thing is weird, unless it was keeping country boys out.

In the first night of basic at Ft.Polk a lot of the guys were sitting on the steps outside of the wooden barracks and although I had been around a lot in life, I was shocked at how openly a number of them were talking about sex with farm animals.
I never saw that animal sex topic arise ever again and guess it was before the young males started realizing how uncommon the experience was in their new diverse world of the army as they saw how freaked the city boys were, vegetables on the other hand I did hear about, and that was almost as weird.

If you have been morally ‘flexible’ in the past you are likely to be morally flexible in your future.

If we ask you to do questionable things like target a presidential candidate or a sitting president, you might take to the task with gusto.
