Osceola County deputy loses job after investigators say he hired prostitute involved in human trafficking investigation

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — An Osecola County deputy lost his job after the Metropolitican Bureau of Investigation said they found out he hired a prostitute they were tracking during a human trafficking investigation.

No charges were filed against deputy Morris Hobby, but his 27-year career in law enforcement is now over.

MBI documents show they were in the middle of looking into a human trafficking ring when they discovered Hobby was making phone calls and having sex with a prostitute they were recording.

According to the internal affairs report, Hobby was working at the Osceola County Courthouse when a woman came before a judge.

After that, he said he looked on adultfinder .com for her escort services and found the woman he had seen in the courtroom.

When asked why he was looking at the site, documents show he said he was intrigued after seeing these kinds of cases come up in court over the years.

He said he called her and met her at her house, paying $200 for sex.

According to the report, Hobby admitted to a “one-time occurrence.” He told investigators he just felt “froggy” that night, and thought he would roll the dice and try it.

He said it only happened that one time, but they continued to talk.

Hobby also said he had no idea she was part of a human trafficking investigation.

He said he knew it was a crime and against standards of conduct but didn’t think he would get caught.
