DA: Cop covered bodycam to snap nude prisoners on his iPhone—but other cams caught him
Gaffney had used his iPhone to snap photos of nude prisoners he had encountered in his job—and he had then shared those photos with “several female civilian employees inside the Sheriff’s Office.”
Gaffney was fired from the Sheriff’s Office last month and was today charged by Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan with “secretly photographing naked prisoners.” This didn’t result in just one charge, either; Gaffney was hit with a batch of charges, including official oppression, unsworn falsification to authorities, possessing an instrument of crime, and obstructing the administration of law or other government function.

I'm hoping ALL of them reported this... the article doesn't really clarify how exactly it was reported, but it implies at least one of them did. If not all of them reported it, there need to be serious questions asked about why they felt sharing obviously non-consensual explicit photos wasn't worth reporting?
Also... a repeat offender. So again... how the fuck was he still there?
