Overview

• Atlantic County prosecutors charged Officer Ryan Bonanni, 24, with second-degree official misconduct, second-degree computer theft, and three counts of third-degree invasion of privacy.
• Investigators say he accessed holding-cell surveillance of a woman identified as B.W. on July 6 that showed her in various stages of undress and engaging in a sexual act.
• Prosecutors allege he recorded the footage on his personal phone and distributed the clips via Snapchat, with videos, captions, and texts later found on his device.
• The Ventnor City Police Department learned of the incident on July 7 and suspended Bonanni, and the police chief said the allegations do not depict the department as a whole.
• Authorities say Bonanni was not one of the arresting officers, and no court date or additional disciplinary outcomes have been announced.
