Overview
- Capt. Jose Maya, who was arrested Tuesday, is in custody and has been relieved of his duties while criminal and administrative investigations proceed.
- Police allege Maya secretly recorded his 23‑year‑old stepdaughter showering using a cellphone and another device and investigators say the victim later recorded hallway video that helped corroborate her account.
- Chief Juan Pinillos called the allegations a serious breach of the public’s trust and said the department is fully cooperating with the Miami‑Dade Sheriff's Office.
- A judge set bond at $7,500 and ordered Maya to stay away from the alleged victim, but court records and jail logs show he remained in custody as of the latest reports.
- Officials have released few details so the case remains developing and could lead to both criminal charges and department discipline depending on the investigations’ findings.
