Former detective Josue Garriga, 35, was sentenced to nearly 25 years in federal prison for sexually exploiting a 17-year-old girl. Garriga met the teenager at a church and used both his department-issued and personal phones to communicate with her via an encrypted app. He solicited and sent nude photos and engaged in illegal sexual encounters using his work vehicle. The relationship ended when the victim’s mother discovered explicit messages, leading to Garriga’s arrest and conviction.
