Former Pinellas County detention deputy accused of watching child porn at work faces more charges
LUTZ, Fla. - Hillsborough County deputies have arrested a former Pinellas County detention deputy a few weeks after investigators say he was accused of watching child porn at work.
Trevor Scott Willis, 33, was arrested on July 1 for watching and sharing child porn videos while working at the jail.
Detectives say the videos were of children between the ages of five and fifteen years old. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, videos showing a child engaging in sexual activities with a dog were also found during the investigation.
Investigators say that Willis used his personal cellphone while on duty at the jail and was logged into the agency's Wi-Fi while watching the videos. When detectives interviewed Willis, they said he admitted to obtaining and sending the videos.

Acting on a tip from PCSO, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office’s Internet Predator Unit got a search warrant for a home in Lutz.
Detectives with HCSO say their investigation revealed more pornographic material on a social media application linked to Willis.
He was arrested again on July 17 on nine counts of child pornography.
"These vile actions have no place in our community, and the betrayal of trust by someone who swore to protect and serve is deeply disturbing," said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. "However, I am immensely proud of the collaboration among all the detectives involved. Their thorough investigation and teamwork have brought this criminal to justice, showing the integrity and commitment we uphold in serving our community."
According to officials, Willis was hired by PCSO in 2016.
Willis resigned from the sheriff’s office upon his July 1 arrest.
