An Osceola County deputy sheriff who was arrested last month in Orlando after being accused of domestic violence had a pattern of abuse for years against a fellow deputy he was dating who later reported him to Orlando police, according to court records recently made public.

According to the affidavit, Alex Valentin, who was fired from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office after turning himself in July 10 at the Orange County Jail, is accused of repeatedly attacking his girlfriend since at least 2021, after two years together.
