WASHINGTON — Two former staff members of a delegate to Congress from the U.S. Virgin Islands pleaded guilty to distributing nude photos and videos of the member and her husband in an attempt to derail her political career, federal prosecutors here announced Tuesday.
Juan R. McCullum and Dorene Browne-Louis, staffers for Democrat Stacey Plaskett between 2015 and 2016, pleaded guilty to federal cyber-related charges and a District of Columbia conspiracy to disclose sexual images offense. McCullum faces an additional charge of attempted first-degree unlawful publication of a sexual image.
The federal charges carry a maximum of one year in prison, and the local D.C. offenses are worth up to 180 days in jail. McCullum will be sentenced in March and Browne-Louis in April, officials said.
Authorities did not name Plaskett in the announcement, but an indictment last summer refers to the victim as “Delegate S.P.”
