Judge orders DA's office to stop distributing explicit images of biker and wife
WACO -- A judge said Wednesday he will order attorneys for Twin Peaks shootout bikers who received sexually explicit images of biker Cody Ledbetter and his wife distributed by the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office through the discovery process to destroy the images.
Judge Matt Johnson of Waco’s 54th State District Court also issued an order Wednesday prohibiting McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna’s office from further distribution of the “private, intimate sexual images” of Ledbetter and his wife taken from Ledbetter’s cellphone after his arrest in May 2015.
Johnson’s orders came in response to a motion from Ledbetter’s attorney, Paul Looney, who called the DA’s actions “revenge porn” and alleged office personnel are guilty of misdemeanor offenses for every image or video of the Ledbetters they sent or send out.
“We’re finally coming to the end of this odyssey with him,” Looney said Wednesday. “The State of Texas through the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office has been ordered to do that which every citizen is required to do — quit committing crimes. It’s a real tragedy that the district attorney’s office had to be specifically ordered by a district judge to quit their criminal activity, but at least the judge did that and we are very grateful. The bizarre saga that has become Waco continues to reach new lows.”
