Overview

• Mark Cranfield, a former police officer, was convicted of two counts of misconduct in public office and unauthorized access to computer records.
• He downloaded an intimate video provided as evidence by a revenge porn victim and later forwarded it to an unknown phone number.
• Cranfield sent inappropriate messages, including discussing his sex life, and attempted to initiate contact with the victim on social media shortly after she reported her case.
• The victim withdrew her complaint and ceased cooperation with the police due to Cranfield's actions, which the court deemed a 'grave betrayal' of trust.
• The offenses came to light in 2021 when Cranfield's work phone was seized, revealing the stored images and video more than two years after the initial investigation.
