Los Angeles County prosecutor Diana Teran is facing 11 felony charges for allegedly obtaining confidential information on 11 deputies in 2018 while working at the sheriff’s office and then using the information while working for District Attorney George Gascon three years later.
While working under Gascon, Teran allegedly used some of the improperly obtained data to assist criminal defendants and suppress prosecutors.
Teran served as the leader of the office’s ethics and integrity unit, being responsible for divisions that prosecuted misconduct allegations against police and other public officials, according to Fox News Digital. For months, Teran remained in the position despite the investigation into her.
Teran is accused of mishandling what is known as Brady material, or information about police misconduct that must be turned over to defense attorneys. She allegedly took information from the sheriff’s office that included unsustained allegations.
