Lawsuit over ex-deputy’s sex crimes with minors
A new lawsuit has been filed over Fleer’s sex crimes with minors. The complaint has been filed against both former deputy Jaylen Fleer and the County of San Diego for sexual harassment and gender violence. ABC 10News reported that the accuser is one of the minor victims who was 13 years old when Fleer solicited her for a threesome with a 9-year-old. The lawsuit claims that while on-duty, Fleer messaged with the girl on Snapchat and sent her sexually explicit photos. He also asked and made arrangements with her to meet with him in person and have sex with him and a threesome with him and another minor girl, offering her $100 to do so.
The lawsuit seeks compensation for the victim to get appropriate and long-lasting counseling services and treatment. The attorney representing the victim, Dan Gilleon, said that Fleer was not supervised properly by the sheriff’s department and that there was no clear message being sent to law enforcement officers that if they abuse their badge, they will pay a price.
The county has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
