A former Florissant, Missouri police officer is facing accusations that he pulled over a woman during traffic stops and stole nude photos off her cell phone—and allegedly committed similar offenses against at least seven other women.
A lawsuit filed this week by one of the women alleges that Julian Alcala, then an officer with the Florissant Police Department pulled over a woman—identified only as "G.E.S."—for a broken taillight on two separate occasions earlier this year. During these stops, Alcala asked for G.E.S.'s proof of insurance. When she told him it was on her cell phone, he took her phone back to his car, where he searched her phone for nude photos. When he found them, he took photos of them with his own cell phone and later distributed these photos to others.
