Fired Porn Cop Michael Verdugo Keeps Certification, Fights For Job

Remember Michael Verdugo the HGTV Design Star competitor and Florida cop who lost his job for appearing as Jeremy Wess in the Ropes McGurk gay porn video, Rope Rituals? He sued to get his job back but the PD also wanted to strip him of his Florida Department of Law Enforcement certification prohibiting him from ever serving as a cop again. He won the battle to keep his certification. The ruling places him on a one-year probation with mandatory state-approved ethics courses (like “How Not To Be A Bondage Fuckbitch On Camera”).
Verdugo has also sued to get his job in the Hollywood police force back, but he won’t get his day in court for that until November. In court, he’ll have to prove that he got sacked for being gay rather than for being in a porn. As we reported earlier, he believes that if a male cop had appeared nude in a straight porn film, his police buddies would be “high-fiving him in the hallway.” Proving gay discrimination may prove difficult, but if the criminals he took down while in uniform outweigh the effort he put into that naked hour-long fuck, they should let him back in… it is Hollywood after all.
We wish Verdugo luck! In the meanwhile, the man on his left in the bottom most picture is his boyfriend, also a cop—at least he has him to come home to. They should make their own bondage video, no? Who’s got the handcuffs?
