Sheriff David Morgan Denies Allegations Made In Federal ‘Sex Ring’ Lawsuit Against Him
July 3, 2019
CLICK HERE FOR AN UPDATE TO THIS STORY.
A federal civil lawsuit against Sheriff David Morgan alleges he was involved in a sex ring and then took steps to halt an internal affairs investigation.
Leah and Doug Manning were convicted in state court for sexual activities that included their own underage daughters. Escambia County deputies Mark Smith and Walter Thomas were also charged. Smith was found not guilty, and Thomas was sentenced to 30 years. Leah Manning was sentenced to 25 years, and Doug Manning received 30 years in state prison.
Manning, at the time, worked as a nurse for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Now legal age adults, the twin daughters are suing Morgan. Morgan is adamantly denying the allegations, and Wednesday afternoon held joint press conference and meeting with all personnel not on active duty protecting the public.
The lawsuits allege Morgan “tolerated the sexual activities” with deputies and other ECSO employees “because of his friendship and personal relationship with mother (Leah Manning).”
Leah Manning claimed, according to a court document, that she had sex with Morgan on about five occasions, and that there is video that shows a half-naked Morgan in a hotel bed. She also claims the family dog was named “David” after the sheriff.
Morgan said he has never had contact with the Mannings and he had no supervision or influence on the investigation. The case was not directly investigated by the ECSO; it was handled by the State Attorney’s Office.
“I haven’t met someone, how can I have sex with them?” the sheriff said Wednesday. He also denied the video claim, and denied that he ever had any contact with the Mannings. The alleged video has not been made available.
During the investigation, phone numbers of a number of deputies were found in Leah Manning’s phone, including a number for Morgan.
Morgan said Thursday that the number in the Manning’s phone was his official cell number, not his personal cell or a landline. He said the investigation revealed that none of these numbers had contact with Manning’s phone.
“This whole case is fueled by rumors and innuendos and Facebook postings,” the sheriff said, “where a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.”
Morgan’s attorneys are arguing that he should not required to give a deposition in the lawsuits.
Court filings say “Plaintiffs have failed to establish any reason why the deposition of the Sheriff is required, except for the purpose of a fishing expedition for irrelevant information. All of their claims against the Sheriff are in his official capacity regarding the policies and practices of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Such information can be obtained through other discovery and/or the depositions of lesser ranking officials.”
