Two former employees of the U.S. House of Representatives have been indicted for allegedly circulating private, nude photos and videos of a Congress member and the member’s spouse, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday.
A grand jury indicted Juan R. McCullum on cyberstalking and Dorene Browne-Louis on obstruction of justice.
According to the indictment, McCullum offered to help repair the Congress member's iPhone in March 2016 by taking the device to a local Apple store. The iPhone had private, nude photos and videos on it.
McCullum created a Facebook account with a fake name, Susan Ricenville. He friended many Facebook users, including those of politicians competing with the member of Congress, prosecutors say. In July 2016, Plaskett said in a statement someone had copied personal photos and a private family video of her and her husband, according to a Politico report.
McCullum sent text messages and emails to Dorene about distributing the images. She allegedly deleted texts from McCullum from her phone in addition to making false, incomplete and misleading statements to law enforcement and a federal grand jury about what she know, the indictment said.
What was that all about?
