this woman gets demoted for sending pictures of herself to her boyfriend who later showed them to coworkers. :-?

Why do people do this? In the digital age we live in why do people keep making this mistake. I want to feel sorry for her but I can't help but feel she just used poor judgment. He ex is an ass though.

[Candy Kappa]

Completely uncalled for, what she does on her private time is her own thing, even if it is taking pictures of her things.

Even if she did a porn film, it would have been stupid to demote her.

[CyberCubed]

She's rather good looking in that photo, if only there was a way to see these, "provocative" images.

[plastroncafe]

I can only hope that not only was the boyfriend equally punished, but that she kicked him to the curb.

[Candy Kappa]

They didn't have evidence of existing raunchy pictures, ans she was still demoted. This is absurd.

The ex deserves a proper kick in the nards, you don't break that trust even after a break-up, no matter how volatile the break-up was or not. Delete and move on.

[AT-Man]

I think this is funny and right.

[BubblyShell22]

Here's my take on this:

First, yes, what she does on her private time is her business, but in this day and age, these things can come back to haunt you later. She should never have sent pictures like that to somebody, even a significant other because now that person has cost her her job. I really hope she dumped him and that she's learned her lesson to not do that. Once it's out in cyberspace, you can't take it back.

[Redeemer]

wow I cant believe how absurd this is.......I hope she sues the crap out of the city

[愛]

I was coming in this thread hoping for pictures. :cry:

Damn. this picture alone qualifies as a sexy photo

[tmntpower1988]

I'd let her strip search me any day.

[AT-Man]

I would also like to have sex with her. If you know what I mean :twink:

[Sage Ninja]

Damn. this picture alone qualifies as a sexy photo

really? She looks too much like a mom in this picture to be considered sexy. Dating somone form the office is never a good idea. It's always awkward after awhile. I know from experience.

i'd hit it

good for you!

The replies in this thread are beyond depressing. A woman's private photos are circulated without her consent, she gets fired from her completely unrelated job, and you people still feel entitled to looking at these private pictures. Gross. Grow up.

What she does legally in her private life has no bearing on her occupation. If she did something illegal or something that harmed someone, that's a different story. But what, she existed in her natural state and there's photographic evidence of it? WOMEN HAVE GENITALS? LADIES R NUDE SUMTIMEZ!? FIRE HER!

[Brodie]

I like how apparently anyone who "looks like a mom" (or is one..?) can't be considered attractive.

I know you've never had a job with a big company or political or municipal organization when you post patently rediculous responses such as this. When you go to work for a real company, one of the things you will sign is a code of conduct agreement which basically says you won't do anything which is embarassing or degrades the public perception of that business/municipality/whatever.

I'm absolutely certain that a police department has such a code of conduct. She most certianly signed it. That doesn't prevent you from doing idiotic things like sexting....but if you get caught doing it, you don't have any room to fight what everyone who signs one of those aagreements knows the consequences are.

She works for a city in a high ranking capacity. She's stupid for allowing naked pictures of her to be out there on electronic media. If half the police force saw those pictures, don't you think her authority is compromised? Makes her pretty ineffective as a leader and face of the community. I'd have fired her too.

Also, not just women get fired for this. Anthony Weiner says hello. Also having quite a problem at the FBI right now.....men and women.

If you take naked pictures and text them or post them to the internet, you have lost your privacy and expect the consequences of your completely stupid and idiotic actions.

[Candy Kappa]

But, isn't it all just bragging from the ex? don't the article say that they have found no such photos, it's "no doubt they existed".

[Katie]

It doesn't matter if the evidence remains or not. Someone saw the pictures. Lots of someones potentially.

Again. If you are stupid enough to send / post / whatever compromising and naked pictures of yourself you open your self up for problems.

Think that person you looooove now and will never hurt you would never share those pictures? I say what you have is potential blackmail fodder.

Ever want to be successful in life and have an amazing job where you are well respected.....and have ever sent pictures of yourself to anyone...or posted them anywhere...or showed them to anyone? Better hope that no person who has anything to gain on you has those pictures. Better hope everyone who saw your nakedness doesn't have a reason to get back at you.

People are free to be as stupid as they want. Stupidity can ruin your life.

[Hannah]

You're certainly exercising that right.

[Jester]

My one question from the first time I started reading this story was: What disciplinary action is being taken against the boyfriend? I mean, yeah, it's never a bright idea, in the internet age, to send sexy pictures of yourself to anyone. Who knows what could happen to them when the relationship sours. But his release of the pictures is the bigger issue here. He could have just kept them under his hat, or deleted them. But he didn't. He used them as a tool to make her look bad. Something needs to happen to him, as much her.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree that what he did was wrong, but I agree with Katie that she was stupid enough to do this and send it to someone who ultimately cost her her job. She could have been smart and not even posed for the pictures. What you need to understand is when it comes to posting things on the Internet, nothing is private. Once it's out there, it's out there and can't be taken back. So, in a way, they're both at fault.

Exactly, but she's the only one of the pair who has their stupidity put on display here. The boyfriend gets to remain anonymous while she's dragged through the mud. Both of their names should be made public. Both of them should get disciplinary action. Both of them showed poor judgement.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree, but I don't know if any disciplinary action can be taken against him. I know that if it was a child who was involved he could get in trouble for distributing child pornography, but since Diana's an adult and consented to take the pictures, I'm not sure what can be done.

[Hannah]

"Can we just take a minute to think about how, if I were to put up an identifiable nude picture of myself, on my own blog, taken in my own bathroom, it could come back around an ruin my life? let’s just think about how, no matter what I do with my life - become a teacher, a lawyer, a scientist, a professor - a photograph of my naked body could render largely null and void the value that others would be willing to give to me.
It would not matter if I were a virgin - it would not matter if I meant them for a lover’s eyes only - it would not matter whether or not I did it for money - my own naked body could actually ruin my life and my work.
Can we just think about that? That is powerful, and not in a good way."

The laws really need to adjust to the digital age. Cyberbullying is another issue where it seems authorities are almost powerless to stop some very abhorrent behavior. The ex boyfriend should in some way be held culpable, as he has exploited a moment of private intimacy to her detriment.

You gonna post that next time some dude gets busted for a dick pic?

[愛]

"Equality for everyone, as long as it's for me." That's the feminist motto!

Doom still mad at me because I think he's an idiot for loving children?

[plastroncafe]

If they don't, I will.

[Cure]

I think Doom is just working on his Soulcalibur create-a-character. The same one he's been working on for years.

[Voltron]

As much as I'd love to agree with the liberal sentiments in this thread, I can't. There is always the potential for damage in sending these photos. It happens all the time, and usually to women. Lame as that is, it's what happens. You may as well complain about getting eaten by a shark while swimming in shark infested waters. It doesn't always happen, but it happens enough that no one's going to be surprised that your ass is lunch.

[CyberCubed]

I don't see why people are annoyed that others want to see almost nude pics of a female officer. You know what they say about women in uniform. She probably uses her handcuffs on her boyfriend in bed.

Wow. So you're annoying AND a complete creep.

[CyberCubed]

Wow. So you're annoying AND a complete creep.

We're talking about an adult woman here, not an underage girl. She knew the risks of sending her photos across the phone which can easily be uploaded to the Internet.

[Jester]

I agree, but I don't know if any disciplinary action can be taken against him. I know that if it was a child who was involved he could get in trouble for distributing child pornography, but since Diana's an adult and consented to take the pictures, I'm not sure what can be done.

Just because it wasn't illegal, doesn't mean the office can't do some form of punishment. If I show up late too many times, I could get fired. It's not illegal, but it violates company policy. I'm sure flashing a picture of your naked girlfriend around violates some policy the department may have.

Also...Shut up Cybercubed.

[plastroncafe]

I love the smell of Victim Blaming in the morning.
Smells of... douchebaggery.

As messed up as the situation is, are you seriously gonna act like this woman did absolutely nothing? It started somewhere.

Everyone in the story did something wrong.

More and more I find myself agreeing with this guy.

Having bad taste in romantic partners shouldn't lose someone their job.

She's not some teenybopper putting Girls Gone Wild'esque pictures up on Facebook and then wondering why they're not getting hired.

I don't buy the "she was asking for it, look how she was dressed!" response.
It's just as problematic as the people begging to see the pics in question.

It's also really telling that not only is the guy at fault not mentioned by name, but they author of the article saw fit to mention that Lopez is a single mom.

[Jester]

But she wasn't wearing anything...that's the issues.

She made a poor choice by sending them, he made a stupid choice to spread them around. He deserves some form of punishment, and his name shouldn't be kept in the dark.

Although, did they ever release the name of the lady who got pictures of Weiner's....um....weiner?

[plastroncafe]

According to the article the pictures did not break any decency laws, which says to me that IF she was nude, nothing was showing. So it was probably her in a various state of undress.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did. Especially seeing as those shots were posted to her via his public twitter account. That's how he got caught. And yeah...I think it's crap he was forced to step down as well.

[BubblyShell22]

Wait, did he work in the department, too? I might have missed that in the article. If so, then, yes, he should be punished as well for sending out the photos.

[Ecto Jedi]

I would also like to have sex with her. If you know what I mean :twink:

Umm. Usually the phrase "if you know what I mean" follows some sort of innuendo that could conceivably be misconstrued by definition. So. Yeah.
