Officer Suspended for Sharing Explicit Images

A Chicago police officer faced a five-day suspension after posting explicit, private videos of her child’s father online—captured after she caught him on a date with another woman while pregnant. The confrontation escalated when she smashed a car window with a roller skate, and later accessed his phone to record intimate content, sharing it publicly on Instagram. Though she claimed no intent to go viral, followers tipped off the other woman, who threatened legal action, prompting the officer to remove the post. COPA confirmed misconduct, citing threats and unauthorized distribution of private images—illegal under state law, though no criminal charges were pursued due to statute of limitations. The officer, who joined the force in 2018 and has prior disciplinary history (unsubstantiated), remains on duty in the Gresham District.
