Julian Alcala, a former officer with the Florissant Police Department, unlawfully searched the cellphones of 20 women during traffic stops, leading to his indictment.
According to the U.S. Justice Department, Alcala exploited his position by checking drivers’ phones under the pretense of verifying insurance while he actually sought nude images.
In one alarming instance, Alcala texted himself a video from the cellphone of one victim after finding explicit content, highlighting the breach of trust and violation of rights.
Alcala has been charged with 21 counts, including destruction of evidence and deprivation of rights, reflecting serious legal consequences for his misconduct in office.
