Controversy

Barreiro was terminated from his position as director of residential facilities for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice in 2009 after an investigation revealed that he had downloaded 300 to 400 sexually explicit adult porn images onto his state-issued laptop. He also used his computer to log on to the sex hookup site adultfriendfinders.com using the screen name "CubanCigar107." Barreiro claimed he was set up.
