Bay Area CHP officer Sends Naked Photos From Arrested Womens Phones To His Own Phone In CHP "Game"

Officer Sean Harrington, the Dublin CHP officer under investigation for allegedly sending nude photos of a DUI suspect from her phone to his own, has resigned.

The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office also filed felony charges against Harrington on Friday.

The charges resulted from an investigation into allegations that Harrington had illegally searched the cell phones of female arrestees and then transmitted personal photos of the women from their phones to Harrington's personal cell phone.

The investigation was led by the District Attorney's Office in cooperation with the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division.

According to our media partner, the Contra Costa Times, court documents suggest that officer Harrington confessed to stealing explicit photos on several occasions.

Harrington, 5-year CHP veteran, says the photo scandal was part of an ongoing game among officers, however, the District Attorney's Office will not be filing criminal charges against any other CHP officer.

The DA's office says the first incident occurred in Livermore on August 6th, 2014 when a 19 year-old woman was arrested for felony DUI. While she was being treated at a local hospital, Harrington allegedly searched her phone and sent private photos from her cell phone to his.

The second incident occurred on August 29th, 2014 when Harrington arrested a woman in San Ramon for DUI, and she was then booked into the Martinez Detention Facility. After she was released from custody, she learned that her phone had been searched while she was in jail, and that several of her personal photos had been sent to Harrington's personal cell phone. The woman's attorney then notified the DA's Office.

"She's tremendously distraught," said Rick Madsen, the attorney for the young woman pulled over by Officer Harrington on August 29. He claims his client has been traumatized by this invasion of her privacy.

Mother Killed & Raped w/ a Hammer By Son 18

A South Texas  jury took less than an hour Wednesday in deciding the life sentence for 18-year-old Kevin Jazrael Davis, who pleaded guilty earlier in the week to killing Kimberly Hill.

Prosecutors say Davis in March struck his mother about 20 times with a hammer. He then sexually assaulted her corpse.

KZTV reports when police asked if it was his first time, Davis said, "I guess I lost my virginity to a dead corpse."

Davis called 911 the next day to say he had killed someone.

Jurors this week were shown a video of Davis' interview with detectives in which he acknowledged having violent fantasies toward women.

It has been reported that the teen told investigators he's sane and was aware of his actions in March.

Mother Murdered w/ Scissors by Son

A 20-year-old University of California at Santa Cruz student was charged with murder Tuesday for allegedly fatally stabbing his 57-year-old mother with scissors at her home in Hayward on Saturday evening.

Joseph Badiali was scheduled to be arraigned in Alameda County Superior Court in Hayward this afternoon on the charge that he murdered Rosemary Badiali at a single-story home at 27548 La Porte Avenue shortly before 6:50 p.m. on Saturday.

Prosecutors also charged Joseph Badiali with three counts of cruelly wounding an animal for allegedly killing three Chihuahua dogs at the residence.

Hayward police Officer Ryan Sprague said in a probable cause statement that a neighbor called police to report that Badiali's grandmother had come to his door and told him that Badiali had killed his mother.

The neighbor said that as he was talking to the grandmother Badiali walked up and had blood on him and admitted to the neighbor that he had killed his mother.

Sprague wrote that when he arrived at the scene he found Badiali in the middle of the street with blood on his hands, legs and shorts and he arrested him.

Sprague said that when he asked Badiali where his mother was, Badiali said, "She's gone" and when he asked for an explanation Badiali said, "She's dead."

Officers then searched the residence and found Rosemary Badiali lying in a pool of blood at the back of the house, according to Sprague.

She was face down and had multiple stab wounds to her head, Sprague said. Hayward firefighters pronounced her dead at 7:10 p.m. on Saturday, he said.
