EXCLUSIVE! And Now He's Gone From the Station
Last week in a Patron only story, FTVLive EXCLUSIVELY reported that a Colorado Springs station had hired a convicted sex offender to produce their 6PM newscast.
Troy first made FTVLive back in 2014, when we reported the arrest of KTAL (Shreveport) Producer/Reporter Michael Jessie Santos for failing to register as a sex offender in the state.
Louisiana State Police said at the time Michael Jessie Santos, who went by the name Michael Troy on air after they say he failed to register as a sex offender in the state.
Santos who also uses the name Michael Troy was convicted in Florida for lewd or lascivious behavior with an underage girl.
Last week, FTVLive FIRST reported that Santos, still using the name Michael Troy had resurfaced in TV news as a Producer in Colorado Springs.
He was working at KRDO and while we don’t know if the station was aware of his background, after the FTVLive story, this email went out to the staff from General Manager Mark Pimentel:
Santos also used the name Micheal Fitt (how many names does this guy have?) and has a porn site in which for $125, visitors can get a 10 minute dirty Skype show.
