Deputy seeks sex offender dick pics

A Sheriff's deputy in Wise County has been arrested in a bizarre incident. Sgt. Chad Hightower told sex offenders the state now required him to photograph them nude. He even told one fellow he must achieve an erection for the photo shoot, which took place in the police impound yard. Unreal.

Apparently similar photos were found on the deputy's camera involving other sex offenders, which to me indicates how easily this powerless population may be manipulated and abused. They've been stripped of so many rights, subjected to so many degradations, that it's near-impossible for a layperson to judge the legitimacy of such demands and requires tremendous courage to confront abuses.
