Investigation involving a
veteran Miami Beach detective continues
Author: Andrea Torres,
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. -
A foster teen's allegations
included in a search warrant the Pembroke Pines clerk’s office released Monday
read like a script for porn.
The characters: A veteran Miami
Beach detective and a teenage girl with a criminal record trying to graduate
from high school. The dark twist: She
was in foster care and was living in Miami Beach Det. Oldy Ochoa's home with
his wife -- a retired Miami Beach police officer. They have three sons and two
step-sons.
Pembroke Pines Police Capt. Al Xiques
said the investigation is ongoing.
It was a day before Valentine’s
Day. The two were in an unmarked 2013 silver Ford Fusion Miami Beach police car
with dark tinted windows. Ochoa was taking the teen to Florida Career College,
7891 Pines Blvd., in Pembroke Pines, when he allegedly decided to park "in
a secluded alley."
They kissed "in a
passionate manner," the girl said. Oral sex followed. The girl "straddled on top" of the
officer who was in the driver's seat. He
didn't wear a condom and used a towel to clean himself.
The girl said she and the
detective, a 24-year-veteran with Miami Beach police, "were often
flirtatious with each other" via e-mail and Facebook. He also used his
mobile phone to take pictures of her "while she posed," a search
warrant said.
There was a second time when he
used a condom, but he dropped it on the floor, the girl told police March 4.
Six days later, Pembroke Pines police detectives took DNA swabs and a towel
from the Miami Beach police car.
"We are cooperating with
the Pembroke Pines Police Department to make sure there is a thorough
investigation," Miami Beach Chief Raymond Martinez said in a statement
earlier this month.
The Department of Children and
Families spokeswoman Paige Patterson-Hughes said in an e-mail earlier this
month the abuse report and the girl's status were confidential.
The Ochoa family declined to
comment. And Miami Beach police said the detective remains suspended with pay
pending the results of the investigation.
