A Los Angeles Police Department office made the mistake of sharing his wife’s nude photos with his buddies in a group chat messaging app and got into a lot of trouble. His wife also works in the same police department 

Brady Lamas, 45, shared the explicit photos between December 2021 and January 2022 after she had breast augmentation surgery. They were “before and after” photos that he had allegedly taken without her knowledge or permission. 

According to his wife, she did not give consent for the photos to be shared and was “frozen and in fear” after the photos were released. She also was worried about how her husband would react when he learned she knew about it. 

The wife started to get unwelcome stares and comments, the milder ones being ones like “Brady is a lucky man,” from her male colleagues. She told the news media, “I would have preferred that he punched me in the face.” She said that her dignity was insulted and that it was like she had suffered a sexual assault.

Lamas’ wife complained to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department station in Santa Clarita and filed a restraining order against her husband.

District Attorney George Gascón said that the incident was causing emotional distress to Mrs. Lamas and that her husband was insensitive to her feelings and he should have known better, because he works with victims of privacy violation and trauma in his profession.

Officer Lamas has been assigned to home duties since January 31, 2022. He faces six misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct. He was released on a $20,000 bond and his arraignment was scheduled for December 20.

His wife’s assessment of the ordeal was “My own husband is a predator and he preyed on me.”
