Doyle, 55, was placed on unpaid leave after the Sheriff’s Office in Polk County, Fla., accused him of having sexually explicit online conversations with an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. Doyle also allegedly sent her pornographic movie clips, and a nonsexual photo of himself wearing a Homeland Security pin on his lapel and standing in the department’s headquarters.
