‼️ BREAKING: Miami-Dade Sheriff's Deputy Arrested in Shocking Predator Sting OperationIn a stunning turn during a live-streamed child predator sting in Miami led by streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, one of the suspects caught attempting to meet a minor was identified as an active-duty Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office deputy.The deputy reportedly confessed on camera upon being confronted, leading to immediate action by authorities. Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz released a strong statement condemning the alleged behavior, calling it unacceptable and a betrayal of public trust. The deputy has been relieved of duty, placed on administrative leave, and the Sheriff's Office is fully cooperating with the ongoing criminal investigation.This is a reminder that even those charged with protecting citizens, can too be the very ones harming them.The operation resulted in several arrests that night.

One of the drivers, Jorge Rodriguez Leon, 45, grabbed a bat from his vehicle, threatened the victim, and demanded $300 for vehicle damageWhen the victims didn’t have cash, Rodriguez Leon raised the bat again and demanded a gold chain from the victim’s neck, worth around $2,000.But it didn’t stop there. After stealing the chain, the suspect texted the victim his address and demanded cash to get it back. When the victim showed up with the money, the demand increased from $300 to $500.The victim called #teamHCSO, and deputies later identified the suspect, obtained a warrant for armed robbery, and arrested Rodriguez Leon.If you’re involved in a crash, remember: stay calm, exchange information, and if something doesn’t feel right, call law enforcement immediately. ...
