Frank Figueroa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Figueroa is a high ranking agent of the Department of Homeland Security.
Figueroa was special agent who worked with Operation Predator, an anti-child-predator program from the Department of Homeland Security.[1]
Figueroa is in charge of the Tampa office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the department.
On April 5, 2006, Figueroa pleaded guilty to exposing himself to an under-age girl.[2]
Figueroa was sentenced to one years probation, to undergo a psychological evaluation and write a letter of apology to the victim. He must pay a $500 court fine and complete 200 hours of community service.
Judge Leon Cheek III also barred Figueroa from malls and food courts where children gather and limited his contact with minors during his probation. Cheek withheld adjudication of guilt against prosecutors' wishes, meaning there will be no record of a conviction. Figueroa, a 30-year federal customs and immigration veteran, will keep his pension after his planned retirement in August.
Figueroa was arrested Oct. 25 after the girl told mall security officers that Figueroa fondled himself for about 10 minutes while he sat in the mall's food court.
He told the judge he "had been scratching" himself and may have "inadvertently" exposed himself.
Figueroa's wife and 14-year-old daughter testified on his behalf.
