Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan said his office has charged Ryan Gaffney, a former county deputy sheriff, with several misdemeanor offenses after an investigation found that he used his personal cellphone to photograph naked people in custody on two separate occasions.
Khan said that person was in custody in a hotel room and the photo was not taken at the Bucks County Correctional Facility.
Investigators allege Gaffney then sent the photo to 12 personal contacts in his phone over four separate dates.
Through his attorney, Gaffney provided screenshots of active and deleted photo libraries “in an attempt to mislead investigators into believing that this Jan. 30 image was not stored on this phone,” Khan said.
