WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.

A Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputy was arrested Friday, accused of smuggling pornography into the juvenile section of the county jail.

Robert Kijanka, 39, was charged with one count of smuggling contraband into a detention facility and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

According to the arrest report, an 18-year-old inmate at the jail told detectives Kijanka, who is responsible for the juvenile dorm at the main detention center, brought a pornographic DVD into the jail and showed it to inmates in a classroom.

The juveniles described the DVD as "naked men and women having sex," according to the report.

Inmates said Kijanka also showed them a picture on his cell phone of his girlfriend wearing only her bra and short pants.

One of the inmates told detectives watching the DVD made their day "go by smoother," the report stated.

Detectives said Kijanka admitted to showing the DVD to inmates.

"Was it stupid on my part? Yes, it was," Kijanka told detectives, the report stated.

Kijanka was released on $3,000 bond and has been placed on paid leave.
