The plaintiff has claimed that Brady Lamas has been circulating her intimate photos and videos for over a year.

LAPD officer has sued the dept. for failing to react responsibly in the case where her husband, Brady Lamas, allegedly circulated her intimate images

Last year in January, an LAPD cop discovered a horrific fact on her husband, Brady Lamas' cellphone. She found out that her husband had allegedly circulated her intimate images and videos to co-workers through social media platforms. Brady Lamas was then charged with several misdemeanor counts. On Wednesday, however, the woman filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department for how they dealt with the entire situation.

Law&Crime reported bits and pieces of the legal complaint, according to which:

"The Department has had a pattern or practice of separating a victim of s*xual harassment from those who are involved in the hostile work environment, largely to protect future acts of potential s*xual harassment."

The lawsuit further mentioned:

"But, in this instance, the Department did not transfer Officer Duplantis or Officer Moreno out of the Division or place them on loan pending the outcome of their Internal Affairs investigation."

The aforementioned officers are allegedly those individuals who made inappropriate comments after the images and videos were leaked. The lawsuit also claimed that the department did not take any action to ensure that no further solicitation of inappropriate content occurs.

Lamas allegedly circulated the s*xually explicit content for over a year

46-year-old Brady Lamas was slapped with the charges in December 2022. It was then alleged that Lamas had circulated the images and videos to fellow officers between December 2021 and January 2022. According to prosecutors, Lamas knew that his actions would cause emotional distress in his wife. LA Times reported that the woman applied for a restraining order against Lamas, where she wrote:

"My own husband is a predator, and he preyed on me. I would have preferred that he punched me in the face."

The woman added:

"What is worse is this humiliation will keep repeating, perhaps forever, because the private pictures and graphic videos are now in the hands of strangers and multiple co-workers at the LAPD."

She further claimed that Lamas' actions made her a victim of s*xual harassment in the department as well. The lawsuit against LAPD mentioned:

"The department simply did not care enough to do all that was necessary to protect plaintiff."

During the investigation into Lamas' activities, the department reportedly issued a statement confirming their cooperation. However, the victim claimed that she was worried about returning to work.
