In July 2019, a lawsuit alleged that Sheriff David Morgan was aware of and failed to address a sex ring involving up to 40 deputies and a former nurse at the sheriff’s office. The lawsuit claimed that many of these encounters occurred while deputies were on duty. Sheriff Morgan denied any involvement, stating he had no recollection of meeting the individuals involved. The case brought significant public attention to the department’s internal affairs.
