Bay Area CHP officer accused of forwarding nude suspect photos
MARTINEZ — Court documents show a California Highway Patrol officer is suspected of secretly sending nude photos of a DUI suspect from her cellphone to his own phone.
The Contra Costa Times (http://bit.ly/1saoJvH ) cites records that reveal a Contra Costa District Attorney investigator has recommended felony computer theft charges against 35-year-old Sean Harrington.
The CHP says the five-year veteran based in Dublin has been assigned to desk duties during the probe.
Investigators say Harrington discovered and forwarded to himself six explicit photos while booking the 23-year-old San Ramon woman in August. The photos depict the woman, who is not being identified, in a bikini and in various states of undress.
Prosecutors said Wednesday they could decide any day whether or not to press charges.
Efforts to reach Harrington for comment were unsuccessful.
