Dallas Cop Arrested on Controversial Revenge Porn Charges

A 32-year-old Dallas Police Department senior corporal has been arrested on revenge porn charges, DPD announced in a brief statement Thursday. Tarrant County authorities have charged Alexander Cleland with Unlawful Disclosure or Promotion of Intimate Visual Material, a Class A misdemeanor.

Cleland turned himself into Tarrant County officials in Keller on Wednesday. As of Thursday evening, he remained in Tarrant County Jail on $750 bond. He is on administrative leave from the DPD.

Texas' revenge porn statute, S.B. 1135, forbids anyone from distributing images or video showing "a person's intimate parts exposed" or engaging in sexual contact without the person being depicted's knowledge or consent. A conviction under the law is punishable by up to a year in jail and $4,000 fine.

Tarrant County officials did not respond to a request for more information about the charges against Cleland, who was assigned to the Northwest Patrol Division, or his arrest.

This person was hired to protect the public from those who are criminals. This person is a common criminal and he should be released from his employment and sent to jail for a year. He is a total disgrace to his organization. This person will be a criminal his whole life because this may not be his first violation.......
