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 Attorneys Office through the discovery process to destroy the images.
Judge Matt Johnson of Wacos 54th State District Court also issued an order Wednesday prohibiting McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reynas office from further distribution of the private, intimate sexual images of Ledbetter and his wife taken from Ledbetters cellphone after his arrest in May 2015.
Johnsons orders came in response to a motion from Ledbetters attorney, Paul Looney, who called the DAs 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.
Were finally coming to the end of this odyssey with him, Looney said Wednesday. The State of Texas through the McLennan County District Attorneys Office has been ordered to do that which every citizen is required to do quit committing crimes. Its a real tragedy that the district attorneys 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.
