Vanessa Bryant files lawsuit against Los Angeles county and its sheriff’s office over photos shared by first responders of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant and their daughter earlier this year.
Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva is also accused of failing to follow protocol and failing to conduct an investigation.
Villanueva instead told deputies that if they came forward and deleted the photos they would not face discipline, the lawsuit alleges. The sheriff“We identified the deputies involved,” Villanueva said in March. “They came to the station on their own and had admitted they had taken them and they had deleted them. And we're content that those involved did that."
“In taking these photographs and at several points thereafter, the Sheriff's Department has chosen to act reprehensibly, and it continues to demonstrate that it either does not understand or does not care about the pain it has caused,” the complaint said. “This lawsuit seeks to impose accountability for that.”
