A 29-year-old police officer in Ohio is suing the local sheriff’s office claiming she was arrested and her child was placed in foster care after she was accused of leaving her then-5-year-old unsupervised with a registered sex offender despite there being no evidence supporting the allegations. The officer also claims that after seizing her cellphone, investigators with the sheriff’s office accessed private, explicit photos of her which they shared among throughout the office and “potentially further.”

Mantua Police Officer Miranda L. Brothers last week filed her complaint against the Portage County Sheriff’s Office in the county court of common pleas seeking punitive damages in excess of $150,000. Among the causes of action included in the suit are allegations of malicious prosecution, violations of her Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and 14th Amendment rights, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and tortious interference.
