A Polk County detention deputy is accused of forcing two girls to undress, handcuffing them to a desk and then spanking them on videos she sent to her online boyfriend, authorities say.
Robin Leigh Pagoria, 45, is accused of beating the girls, who are between 10 and 18,according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. She also faces three charges each of child pornography production, promotion and possession and child abuse.
Authorities say Pagoria handcuffed and tied the girls a desk and then hit them with a paddle or cane.
She then recorded the beating on her cell phone camera and uploaded them to the internet, where the man she met on spankfinders.com would also watch them, deputies say.
Deputies say Pagoria did not gain access to the children through her job as a detention deputy.
Pagoria resigned today – in lieu of being fired -- after six years of working for the sheriff's office.
She is currently being held at the Polk County Jail without bail, said sheriff's spokeswoman Donna Wood. Her first court appearance is Friday at 1:45 p.m.
