High-ranking advisor to L.A. DA Gascn hit with 11 felony charges
https://ktla.com/news/california/high-ranking-advisor-to-l-a-da-gascon-hit-with-11-felony-charges/A high-ranking official in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is facing criminal charges filed by California’s state attorney general Wednesday, authorities announced.
Ethics and Integrity Assistant District Attorney Diana Teran, a top advisor to DA George Gascón, who oversees cases involving public corruption, fraud and police misconduct, has been charged with 11 felony violations.
“It is alleged Teran accessed computer data including numerous confidential peace officer files in 2018, while working as a Constitutional Policing Advisor at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and, after joining LADA in January 2021, impermissibly used that data,” Attorney General Rob Bonta stated in a news release.
“No one is above the law,” Bonta said in the release. “Public officials are called to serve the people and the state of California with integrity and honesty.”
I'm really surprised she hasn't been placed on administrative leave, how do you leave someone overseeing ethics and integrity with charges like that?
