Brookfield to search for a decertification of ex-cop in nude photo case: boss

According to the arrest warrant for his arrest, who worked as a school resource representative about the Brookfield police, not only to take the photos, but also deliberately destroyed a cell phone that the investigators believed in connection with the case.

Complaints submitted by former students, the nude photos of which were passed, led to an internal examination of Rountos, which resigned from the police department in November 2021.

“After refusing to answer questions in the internal investigation and resigned, we reported within 10 days as required (the standards for standards and training council of the state policies),” said John Puglisi, chief of police from Brookfield, in an e -mail on Thursday afternoon.

Puglisi said that Rountos' post was certified in 2023 and the Brookfield police plans to take further measures as soon as the former officer was condemned in June.

“We are waiting for the penalty report to not be sealed and will forward it together with the necessary forms to cancel, cancel or expose his police certification,” said Puglisi.

The Rountos on the State Superior Court in Danbury has been sealed since at least 2023 when he applied for an accelerated rehabilitation. One of the Rountos' lawyers, Gene Riccio, said on Thursday in court that his application for the court redirement program had been withdrawn.

Rountos advocated Nolo against the indictment against the evidence on this day as part of a negotiated agreement. During the hearing of Rountos, the lawyer of the state Danbury, David Applegate, said that he had “received assurances” that the indictment of the federal government was not pursued as soon as the objection was concluded in the state law enforcement of Rountos.

“He doesn't have to worry that he has to face an indictment for the federal government,” said Applegate about Rountos, who sees a suspended five -year prison sentence and three years of probation with conditions as part of the consent in his case.

However, there is a pending civil procedure in front of the Federal Supreme Court, which was initiated by the two former students of the Brookfield High School, whose nude photos had been passed on.

They submitted the lawsuit before the US district court in New Haven seven months after the arrest of Rountos and accused him and several city officials for constitutional violations, negligence, as well as local and deputy liability as well as intentional and negligent dirt of emotional stress. Court files show that a comparison conference took place in October, but no agreement was reached, and there is a discovery period on March 4 in the case.
