Less than 24 hours after a former Flagler County paramedic was arrested for sex crimes following the discovery of disturbing videos, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Stay told News4JAX that he and his investigators believe there are more victims.

“If he had not recorded that, this victim and the sheriff’s office would not have known this occurred,” Staly said. “That video just surfaced during another investigation by another agency.” “This is an unfathomable attack and a disgusting attack on a helpless individual that called for medical emergency services,” Staly said. “Actually, she didn’t even call. It was another individual who called because she was unconscious. And to take advantage of this, tarnish the badge that they wear, tarnish the agency that they work for and the community is just disgusting. And I hope the prosecution and the courts will recognize what he has done and the damage he has done.
News4JAX reached out to Flagler County Fire and Rescue to find out what policies are in place to prevent sexual assaults from happening while patients are being transported to hospitals, but so far, no one has returned phone calls.“Sometimes they will allow a family member or a friend to ride in the back of the ambulance with the patient,” he said.
