Former Corporal Faces Sexual Abuse Charges | Tampa News

A former Pasco County corporal, Donald Valverde, is locked up facing serious sexual abuse charges involving a minor, with accusations spanning from last August to next September. The sheriff called him a “monster,” and court documents reveal disturbing details — including alleged bribes of ice cream and toys in exchange for sex — as well as a chilling note from the victim to a friend. The victim told her mom in January, but the mother, who was then dating Valverde, reportedly tried to handle it privately, leveraging his financial resources. This isn’t Valverde’s first brush with law enforcement — past domestic investigations couldn’t be proven — and now, after a judge denied bond, he remains behind bars as the case unfolds.
