Diana Teran, a top advisor to L.A. County Dist. Atty. George Gascón, still faces charges of misusing confidential records.
Four months after California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta announced a slew of felony charges against a top advisor to the Los Angeles County district attorney, state prosecutors this week dropped three of the 11 counts but still pushed forward toward a trial. Diana Teran, a former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department advisor who later oversaw ethics and integrity operations at the D.A.'s office, is accused of illegally using confidential personnel records.
The judge, Ohta, said in court that state prosecutors had also added “aggravating factors” to the complaint, but court staff told The Times the document would not be available in court records until next week. The DOJ did not respond to a request for a copy of the document.
