No Charges in Rihanna Photo Leak
In a charge evaluation worksheet filed March 28 and released this week, Deputy District Attorney Amy Pellman Pentz concluded that investigators found no indication that Officer Rebecca Mendez Reyes leaked the image of the R&B star's bruised face to TMZ, the outlet which first published it, in return for a hefty payment.
However, the prosecutor did note that Reyes used her cell phone to snap a picture of the photo and then forwarded the image from her phone to her work email address, and then on to her personal email address.
Investigators determined that a second officer, Blanca Estrella Lopez (who also happened to be Reyes' roommate), called TMZ four times on Feb. 8, 2009, and phoned Fox Television three times.
