doesn't recall using the phrase "man in uniform." He stated that he couldn't tell me who
he contacted on Backpage. Cpl. Cranford stated no one has tried to contact him from
Backpage. He stated he has made contact with females by texting. He stated years ago,
he did not want to "throw anybody under the bus," but a certain Deputy told him about
the website. Cpl. Cranford stated "they found it as a joke to go on there and pretty much
mess with the females that are doing it." He stated, "Then they would tell them by the
way, we're Police and then it pisses them off." He stated "that he was not going to name
that Deputy." He stated "you'll text or something and they'll text back and you tell them
that you're police or whatever and then they get pissed off and it's just kind of a game."
He stated 'Cit was a stupid game." He stated that he has recently contacted females on
Backpage just messing around, he stated "looking at pictures and then being stupid."
He stated that he has never met anybody and never done anything with anybody. He
stated that he doesn't remember telling anybody that if they come on a date with him
that he would protect them. He stated that he has texted several of these girls, but has
never followed through and met any of these girls. He stated that "it's a sick game." He

only. He stated that he started longer than two or three years ago. Cpl. Cranford stated
that he has done it recently once in a while when he gets bored. He stated that he has
told them that he is the police and they get pissed off and then they usually cut the
conversations. He stated "it's always kind of like your leading them on and then you
tell them you're Police." He stated that he has never made contact with any of these
females while working. He stated that he has never tried to contact any ofthose females
using Bibb County Sheriffs Office equipment. He stated that he always used his
personal phone when he contacted them. He stated

him Backpage and introduced him to it and he was talking to a female, just talking
trash and laughing about it. He stated "it's just like a thrill thing, kind of like watching
porn, it's just the thrill." I-le stated "you staff off talking and saying stuff then you say
by the way, I work at the Sheriffs Office." He stated, "then he watch the response or
they either don't respond or they say screw you, but after you tell them that, they

August 7, 2017 at 0900hrs. Deputy Scarborough examination was scheduled for
August 7, 2017 at 1400hrs. I advised Cpl. Cranford and Deputy Scarborough of the
testing on August 3, 2017 at 1520hrs at the Office of Professional Standards. I was
contacted by Lt. Sprague on August 10, 2017 around 1243hrs, he advised me that Cpl.
Cranford showed deception on his polygraph exam. Lt. Sprague told me that he
advised Corporal Cranford ofhim failing the polygraph exam. Cpl. Cranford denied
ever physically meeting any females listed on the Backpage website. Cranford
admitted to contacting them as something that was "exciting" because of the reaction
he would get when he would reveal to the female that he was in Law Enforcement.
Cpl. Cranford never did it on duty and it was on his personal phone.
Cpl. Cranford stated that he was first introduced to "Backpage" by Deputy
Scarborough a few years ago and since then he stated he has contacted females listed
on this website around 25 times. Cpl. Cranford adlnitted the last time he contacted
someone on "Backpage" was 2-3 months ago. Cpl. Cranford stated that in his mind he
didn't do anything wrong. He also stated that he didn't remember telling anyone on
"Backpage" that he would protect them but in the "heat of passion" he may have done
that. Cpl. Cranford stated he has a foot fetish and has received photos from these
females he has contacted. Cpl. Cranford stated he would contact them and talk about
prices for sexual acts and that is when he would tell them he was a Law Enforcement
Officer. Cpl. Cranford also admitted that he has received phone calls from ladies listed
on "Backpage" because they were returning his calls when he called them and they
didn't answer. During the interview with Cpl. Cranford he stated to me and Lt. Allen
that no one from Backpage has ever tried to contact him.
Sgt. L. Howard contacted me on August 10, 2017 around 1845hrs, she advised me
that there was No Opinion on Deputy Scarborough's polygraph exam. Scarborough
admitted to going on "Backpage". He stated that "someone told him his ex-wife was
on there, so he went searching and there she was." Scarborough stated he only told his
auntie that his wife was on "Backpage." Scarborough admitted that it was 3 or 4 years
ago when he found his wife on "Backpage" 2013 or 2014. He stated that he told his
wife nice career choice. He stated "and I'll tell you what I told
them. I saw a girl on there that was attractive and I told her she was too pretty to be
on there." Scarborough stated he reached out to her the same day he saw his exwife
on the site. He stated "she asked if I wanted a date. I said no (laughs) and she told me
to leave her alone." He stated "I have nothing to hide." Scarborough stated No, he
never told anyone on "Backpage" he was the police. He stated "No, he never
discussed" Backpage" with anyone on the department. He stated "probably in
4
passing, about the prostitutes on there and that it exists." He stated that "he did not
know" who he discussed it with. Scarborough stated that he learned about
"Backpage" before he was told about his ex-wife. I-le stated "I never had a reason
before to go on" Backpage." Scarborough stated that he found out about
"Backpage" by the news. He stated that he went on "Backpage" looking for used cars
and antiques. He stated that he started looking when he noticed it was like craigslist.
He stated that he used to sell antiques. Scarborough admitted to reaching out to just
one female on "Backpage." Scarborough stated that he only reached out to just that
one female. He stated that he don't know her name. Scarborough stated that the FBI
would be investigating him because he "guess they got my number from visiting
Backpage a long time ago." Scarborough stated that the FBI have an interest in him,
"I have no clue maybe because my number popped up and they found out I am a
police." He stated "you know how some police like to lock up other police. Other than
that I have no clue." Scarborough was asked with you being in law enforcement and
know what that part of "Backpage" is for. Why did he go on there? Scarborough
admitted "that it is not illegal to go on there, it's not illegal if you talk to a prostitute,
and it's only illegal if you mess with a prostitute." Scarborough stated that he checked
"Backpage" while at home. "It was too busy to check it at work." Scarborough stated
no he has not reached out to anyone on "Backpage" "unless I did some dillken texting"
(laughs). Scarborough admitted that he checks "Backpage" once or twice a month or
more for his ex-wife pictures. During the time of questioning, Scarborough pulled his
pants leg up to adjust his knee brace and while doing so he looks over at Sgt. Howard
and tells her to "contain herself." Scarborough stated that he has never met anyone in
person from "Backpage." Scarborough stated, "It is a possibility" that it has been more
than one or two times a month that he has been on "Backpage" searching for his wife
each month. Scarborough became very frustrated and states, "It doesn't really matter
how many times I have contacted anyone on Backpage, all that matters is whether I
have sexual contact with them. That should be the only question." Deputy
Scarborough admitted two weeks ago was the last time he was on Backpage. Sgt.
Howard asked Deputy Scarborough what is IA saying about this incident? He stated,
"IA ain't saying nothing" they said something about child trafficking, that's all I was

always, they get pissed off and then they, you know, so they usually cut conversations."
"So it's always kinda like lead em on and then you tell cm you're police and I' don't

like I said, I just never, I guess I never felt like I did anything wrong because I wasn't

now when you see it out here in the open it's like well, you're Law Enforcement you
're contacting these people that are prostituting, it don't look good on your pan. Y'all

"Do I have to?" Lt. Allen stated I kinda need to know. I mean can't make you, I'm not
saying you have to but we'd like you to. Cpl. Cranford stated, "This was before
consolidation, we were on the Southside, but it was um, ah, I don't want to tell. It's
Robert Scarborough. He's the one that showed me Backpage and introduced me to it
and, he talked to a female and doing that, I mean, just talking trash and laughing about
it." He was asked did at any time you ever met with any of these girls from Backpage.
Cpl. Cranford stated, "NO." Lt. Allen stated, you would basically act like you-wanted to
date, set it up. He stated, "Right, it's just like a thrill thing, kinda like watching porn it's
just the thrill. Just you start off talking saying stuff, then you say by the way, I work at
the Sheriffs Office. And then you watch the response or they either don't respond or
they you know, screw you or you know, but after you tell them that they never want to
3
meet with you anyway, obviously, so." Wc asked, you never did this while you were
sitting in your patrol car or working? Cpl. Cranford stated, "No, on my own time,
usually sitting on the porch just goofing off." I said to Cpl. Cranford you said when
Dep. Scarborough showed you at Waffle House were y'all working then? Cpl. Cranford
said, "Yes, we were working the nightshift." He was asked, was it on his phone? He
stated, "Yes." Lt. Allen asked, did you do it on your phone
that day. He said, "NO, No." I asked, did-beever mention to you that he had made
contact with any of the girls or anything? ne said, "No, No he never, no."
On August 3, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. Lt. Allen and I interviewed Deputy Robert
Scarborough in reference to the FBI here in Macon has been doing an investigation
into Human Trafficking which involves Backpage locally here in Macon. They have
ran across a number of names that belong to Deputies here in Macon also so that's
what we have some questions in reference to that. I asked Deputy
Scarborough are you familiar with Backpage, have you ever contacted any girls. He
stated, "Yes, once a long time ago, several years ago in fact." I asked him was he
working for the County then. He said, "Yes he was working for the county
asked did you do it on the county time, did you use any county equipment?
He stated "No," I asked him if he made contact with any of those girls. Deputy
Scarborough stated "Yes, I told her she was too pretty to be doing what she was
doing." I then asked him did you make contact like face to face or by phone. He stated
"just on the phone." "She told me to stop texting her." Lt. Allen asked him about how
long ago was it? He stated "probably two years I wanna guess." "May be three." Lt
Allen asked you reached out to her through your cell phone. He stated "yes, I text and
told her she was too pretty to be doing what she was doing, and she told me told me to
stop." "That's as far as my conversation goes in my memory." Lt. Allen asked him,
"one time?" He stated "yes." Lt. Allen asked ' Cone female?" He stated "yea." Lt. Allen
asked did you ever tell her you were a Police Officer. He stated 'No." Lt. Allen asked
do you know of anyone else in our office that's doing this. Deputy Scarborough stated
"No." He was asked do you remember the girl 's name. He stated "I have no clue." Lt.
Allen asked how long you have had your cellphone number. He stated "started in 03,
probably since 05 maybe, 04-05." So that would have been the same number you used
4
to reach out to her, so would that have been, this 2017, 2014 you're thinking when this
happened. He stated "guestimate, yea." Lt. Allen stated so at any other time you've not
reached out to any other female. He stated "no." He was asked if he met up with this
female or any others. He said "I haven't met up with any of them." Lt. Allen asked him
is that his only involvement. He stated "yes." "The only reason I started looking
at Backpage is because somebody told me my ex-wife was on it. I actually found a
picture of her." Lt. Allen stated, "On Backpage?" He stated "yea." Lt. Allen asked are
y'all together now? He stated "Oh no we haven't been together for a while."

He also stated that he didn't remernber telling anyone on "Backpage" that he would protect them but
that in the "heat of passion" he may have done that. Deputy Cranford stated he has a foot fetish and has
received photos from these females he has contacted. Deputy Cranford stated he would contact them
and talk about prices for sexual acts and that is when he would tell them he was a law enforcelnent
officer. Deputy Cranford also adtnitted that he has received phone calls from ladies listed on "Backpage"
because they were returning his calls when he called them and they didn't answer.
IN-TEST INTERVIEW: An Axciton computerized polygraph system was used for the collection of
the test data. This instrument made a continuous recording of movement associated with respiration,
electro dermal and cardiovascular activity. During the in-test phase of the exatninalion, charts were
administered following the protocol of a Bi-Zone technique. Each chart of the Bi-Zone technique
contained the following relevant questions that were answered as indicated.
QUESTION: Have you ever physically met any fetnale that has been listed on backpage?
ANSWER: No
1
QUESTION: Have you ever physically met any female that has been listed on backpage at any time?
ANSWER: No
TEST DATA ANALYSIS: Numerical analysis of the polygraph test was conducted using the
Empirical Scoring Systell) (ESS) scoring scale. The exaniiner is of the opinion that Deputy Cranford
was being deceptive during testing.
POST TEST INTERVIEW: During the post test phase of the exatnination, Deputy Cranford was
infortned of the test results. Deputy Cranford maintained that he had not physically met with any
fernale listed on backpage. He agreed that he feels like he is guilty even though he did not meet with
anyone.
PRE-TEST INTERVIEW:
The purpose of this examination is to determine the truthfulness ofRobert Scarborough regarding
case IA1705 IAP. This is an internal investigation and the complainant is Bibb County Sheriffs
Office. Robert Scarborough is a Patrol Deputy with the Bibb County SherifPs Office. His current
assignment is in teleservice due to a work injury.
Scarborough was on time for his appointment. Scarborough was suitable for testing.
Scarborough admitted he was very nervous because he had just received a call moments before
his exam from his doctor office that he would have surgery the next day.
During the Pre-Test interview I asked Scarborough if he v,'as aware of why he was being polygraphed. Scarborough
stated ''I think it's about the questions I was asked the other day about Back Page.
Scarborough again expressed he was very nervous and has anxiety about surgery he was having the next day
and thathe was more nervous about his surgery then the polygraph.
Scarborough stated "we can do the polygraph today or wait a few weeks until I'm done with surgery". I
explained to Scarborough, that was not an option. This issue ran throughout the pre-test and post-test.
I asked Scarborough who did he tell he found his ex-wife on back page.
Scarborough stated, only his auntie.
I asked Scarborough how long ago was it that he found his ex-wife on Back page Scarborough
stated 3 or 4 years ago.
I asked what did you say to your ex-wife when you found her picture. Scarborough
stated he told her nice career choice.
Scarborough stated, "and I'll tell you what I told them. I saw a girl on there that was attractive and I told her she
was too pretty to be on there."
I asked what did the female say after you told her she was too pretty to be on Backpage.
Scarborough stated "she asked if I wanted a date. "1 said no (laughs) and she told me to leave her alone.
I asked did you ever tell any woman on backpage you were a police offtcer after exchanging text. Scarborough
stated, No.
I asked have you ever discussed backpage with anyone on the department.
Scarborough stated, 'No. Probably in passing, about the prostitutes on there and that it exists."
I asked is there anything in your past that may interfere with your polygraph.
Scarborough stated when he worked at Safelighvould come in and proposition all the men that work there.
I asked did he ever get accused oflying in any of his years of law-enforcement.
Scarborough stated he got accused of flipping a coin on the side of the road to see if the person was going to go
to jail.

COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
I asked have you ever reached out to anyone other than your wife on Backpage? Scarborough
stated just that one female.
I asked how many people have you reached out to on backpage? Scarborough
stated, "just the one to my knowledge."
Scarborough stated, "remember about two years ago my phone was hacked and someone purchased
about five cell phones using my information. They had all my information and my phone was shut
down."
I asked did he get a new phone number once his account was settled?
Scarborough stated, no he kept the same phone number.
Scarborough stated the reason he did not do a report on his phone being stolen is because our investigators do not
investigate misdemeanors. I advised Scarborough that his case was not a misdemeanor it was a felony because it
was identity theft and that I use to investigate those cases.
Scarborough stated he was told by the sergeant over property that they did not investigate misdemeanors. "I have
that in an email".
I asked, with you being in law-enforcement and know what that part of back page is for. Why did you go on there?
Scarborough stated," because it is not illegal to go on there, it's not illegal if you talk to a prostitute it's only illegal
if you mess with a prostitute.
I asked have you ever use Backpage at work or used work equipment to check back page?
Scarborough stated, he checked back page while at home. ''It was too busy to check it work."
I asked have you reached out to anyone else on Backpage?
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Scarborough stated, "no unless I did some drunken texting." (laughs)
I asked are you sure you haven't done any drunken texting? Scarborough
stated, No.
During the pre-test He becomes frustrated when I continue to ask the contact questions. Scarborough stated he
doesn't know why I keep asking him the same questions.
I ask one more time is this female the only female you contacted or texted.
Scarborough stated, "Yes to my knowledge." I
ask what do you mean to your knowledge?
Scarborough states "I can't answer yes or no I believe she is the only one I will play it safe to my
knowledge."
I explain to him you need to know?
Scarborough states "then I will say no".
Scarborough stated he checks back page for his ex-wife picture once or twice a month.
I asked is it possible that it could have been more than once or twice a month he has been on backpage?
Scarborough stated it's possible.
I asked, what was your ex- wife's response when you advised her that you found her picture on
Backpage? Scarborough stated," she take the picture off after I called her."
During this time of questioning he pulls his pants leg up to adjust his knee brace and while doing so
he looks over at me and tells me to" contain myself."
I did not make eye contact or acknowledge is comment.
I asked Scarborough have ever physically met or had sexual contact with anyone on Backpage?
Scarborough stated, hc ncver met anyone in person on Backpage.
I ask would anyone be able to say they have met him?
Scarborough stated," they can say all day long, don't mean it is true."
I asked do you think it has been more than one or two times a month that you've been on Backpage searching for
your wife each month?
Scarborough statcd," it is a possibility. "It doesn't really matter how many times I have contacted anyone on
backpage all that matters is whether I have sexual contact with them. That should be the only question".

COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Once Scarborough was seated in the exam chair he states," this is ridicules."
I reviewed all the test questions with Scarborough before the test. He stated he had not issue with the questions.
I started the exam. During the first exam he changed his answers. I asked him what changed? He stated he feels
that his grandmother is an authority figure.
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
The exam question was (Have you ever lied to anyone in authority?) I had to help Scarborough work through all
outside issues of authority and what the question meant pertaining to this test. Authority meant law enforcement
in this test.
I started my exam over again. He became very upset and asked ''why can't I ask him his name and his
age and it bc over.
I told him it does not work that way.
I asked, have you had contact with a child or someone that looked young or may have been underage?
Scarborough stated" the female I had contact with on backpage may have been 20 years old. I'm not
sure".
Scarborough stated "That's what my brother in law supposed to be doing, working for the government for child
trafficking, so he say's".
Before the exam I advised Scarborough that we would be taking a restroom brake. Scarborough stated he didn't
need to use the restroom but needed water. I walked into the restroom to wash my hands once I exited I looked
for Scarborough. I could not find him. I later found him coming inside from smoking a cigarette.
Scarborough continues to state that he is so nervous about his surgery and then goes into how my equipment
works and may pick up how nervous he is about his surgery. I advised him that the test was not about his surgery
so that issue would not affect his test.
I asked Scarborough did you and Jeff have anything going on?
6
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Scarborough stated, I haven't seen Jeff in over a year because I worked district 4. Jeff works just district 2. ''We
don't hang out or anything."
Scarborough stated," we don't have anything going on .We don't call each other buddy buddy on the phone we
just worked together."
I asked what do you feel the difference is from the old to the new BCSO?
Scarborough stated "Everyone on the squat got along together and now it's not like that anymore." (Makes a
gesture with his hand up and down)
I stated to Scarborough we were all supposed to be under one umbrella right now.
Scarborough stated "but we are not. "you got MPD people looking out for MPD you got Bibb county people looking
out for Bibb County people. t'
I explained to him that I have not had that experience because I've worked with both. Scarborough did not respond.
There was silence in the room while I continue to get my questions ready for the exam.
Scarborough then states, "today since consolidation there is no real uniform set of rules or
guidelines." I asked, do you think so?
Scarborough stated "everybody wants to play Chief. When we were with the county all the brass, all the higher
ups, we joke around, they cut the fool with you but when they said you need to do this you need to do it."Just like
7
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
they have a radio upstairs in teleserve, Capt. Harris told me to use that radio and start dispatching calls. Hubber-t
comes up telling me don't you use that radio it's not policy. He says Sheriff has to sign off on it
first.
Scarborough stated someone called me one day and they bought a gun and want to check to see if it was stolen. I
don't have GCIC so I called to the radio room. I asked can you run this weapon to see if it is stolen or not, next
thing I know I get an email from Capt. Harris stating ,that is something that you should be able to do. I called
GCIC and GCIC would be glad to do it for me. You don't want to have to tell someone, that gun is stolen but now
you got to dispatch a deputy out to that house to collect that gun and now that man is out of 500 bucks. You know
that person is not going to sit at home and wait on deputies. He's going to go out and try to get his money from
that person that sold him the gun.
BIBB
I have to take down the person's information then call dispatch, dispatch then sends someone out. It's
called make the customer happy don't make the customer make several phone calls. I've been trying
for two months to get GCIC up there.
IN-TEST INTERVIEW:
An Axciton Computerized Polygraph System was used for the collection of polygraph test data. The instrument
makes a continuous recording of movement associated with upper and lower body, electo-dermal activity and
cardio vascular activity. A calibration test confirmed the instrument was in proper working order.
During the In-Test Phase of the polygraph Examination, ten (I O) questions in a Bi-Zone were used.
The polygraph examination consisted of one series, with three asking of the questions.

I am writing to provide you with information received during the course of our investigation directly related
to a Bibb County Sheriff's Office deputy whose identity was previously provided to your office. During a
follow-up interview of a victim in our investigation, she provided the following additional information
related to her contact with this BCSO deputy:
The conversation T.W. had with a police officer was via text message. The officer said he
would protect her if she got in trouble and he would not say anything about her work. He
texted from different numbers, but said the same thing, that he was a man in uniform. The first
time he texted was about a month before the operation at the hotel and then he texted again
the week of the operation. T. W. assumed he was the same person because of what he said. T.
W. tried to get him to say what kind of uniform, but he would not give an answer.
