Sheriff’s officials say a crisis hotline counselor in Florida sent explicit material to a teenager who called asking for help
A crisis hotline counselor in Florida has been arrested for sending obscene material to a teenager who called asking for help, sheriff's officials said.
The teen called the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay's 211 hotline around 9:30 p.m. on March 28. She left her contact information so an intervention specialist could return the call, Hillsborough County Sheriff's officials said in a news release. A man called back and introduced himself as a counselor at the center named “William," and they spoke for about an hour on a recorded line, the release said. He soon called again, from a restricted phone number, telling the girl he was just checking on her, the release said.
