A police officer who distributed an evidence photo depicting Rihanna's injuries after she was attacked by Chris Brown was properly fired for her actions, a judge ruled Thursday.


Former Los Angeles police officer Rebecca Reyes took a picture of an evidence photo and the image ended up on celebrity website TMZ, although she denies that she sent it to the site.

Reyes snapped the photo to show to other officers and acquaintances, court filings state.

The image was one of several taken by police officers investigating Brown's February 2009 attack on Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty.

Superior Court Judge Luis A. Lavin issued a ruling agreeing with the decisions of a disciplinary panel and Police Chief Charlie Beck to fire Reyes in 2012. After reviewing the record, Lavin also concluded that evidence supports that Ryes "participated in the release of the photography showing Ms. Fenty's injuries to TMZ."

The judge said he agreed that Reyes should no longer be a police officer.

In before "Rihanna HA impact"

why are we still in 09 tho

Good that was gross to leak a pic of a already battered woman and immature.

Officier

I think it's fair that she lost her job because it's a breach of confidentially how would she like it if someone put photos on the internet for the world to see of her beat up.

Good choice.

but the photo would have leaked eventually without the cop

Well that wasn't the case and she made a breach of contract. If this was your family member you would be pissed about it.

about ****ing time...

Ruin ha

Like half a decade late

what does that have to do with this? It doesn't lessen what she did.

Not necessarily, I mean CB has been arrested multiple times yet no mugshot has ever leaked.
- That lady purposely took the picture with the intent to show people. She even forwarded a copy to her email account. Pathetic

Why did it take so long

Deserved it,sorry for her family but she should have known better.

5 years later, tho?
