Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu talks to CNN; ex-boyfriend has been identified as Jose Orozco
SHERIFF SCANDAL: The face of Jose Orozco was obscured and his voice altered during an interview he did with CNN this week during which he alleged that his ex-boyfriend, Pinal County Sheriff and Arizona congressional candidate Paul Babeu, had threatened him with deportation after their messy split.
But his face and full name have now been made public by the Arizona television station 3TV. Orozco, 34, is a Mexican national who says he is in the US on a 10-year tourist visa.
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Monday, Babeau said of Orozco: ‘I don’t wish anyone ill will. … I wish him, I wish everybody, happiness and peace. I’m living my life, I’m pursuing my dreams. I’m not motivated by negativity.’

Shame on Jose taking his personal matters to the political spotlight. He knew what he was involed with dating a sheriff now he is trying to use it aginst him. If he his legal then who cares?
Corey Conner says:
This is a way for Jose to be seen in his 10 sec
of fame. Things get said out of moments of emotion and
taken out of context. Same thing but different circumstances
