Deputy Sheriff from Hillsborough County now a Convicted Felon

Raymond Choy, 37, was found guilty in a court of law and sentenced to 5 years in prison and 10 years of probation.






Choy had initially faced 60 years if convicted and for some reason the prosecutors elected to offer Choy a plea deal.

So he was smart enough to withdraw his not guilty plea which he claimed initially.

Oh yeah, what happened you are asking about now, what landed Choy in prison?

Choy was on duty as a Hillsborough County Deputy and responded to a hit and run call. Choy found the hit and run suspect and agreed to release her from custody if she performed oral sex on him in April of 2007.

Choy was linked to the victim by DNA test.

Choy was convicted of sexual battery and false imprisonment.

Another prime example of the system failing, there is no reason this man should have been given any plea deal. He should be serving the full 60 years in prison.

Maybe the victim did not want to testify but regardless he illegally held someone against their will. Then there was the sex act, maybe the victim agreed to this at first who knows.

There had to be some reason the prosecution agreed to a plea deal.

Anyway, I guess as he sits in prison for the next 5 years it will give him some time to think about the errors of his ways.
