A Bay Area woman is suing a former Pinole police officer and the city’s police department after he allegedly filmed the two of them having sex without her permission, the East Bay Times reported.

The former officer, 25-year-old Anthony Luciano Vasquez, was first charged by the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office in September 2021 with felony eavesdropping and a misdemeanor tied to the “unlawful” video recording, said the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office and court documents.
