New York City cop sues NYPD over decade-old nude photo shared among colleagues

The 34-year-old had shared the pictures with her former lieutenant boyfriend 12 years ago.

Last year in May, Bajraktarevic remained in the headlines after she tried to protect her alleged drug dealer boyfriend from an arrest.

The narcotics detectives said they were on the brink of busting a drug dealer during a car stop when she stepped out and caused a scene.

She had identified herself as a police officer impeding the arrest of the suspect. She faced an internal investigation.

Now, she is suing the department claiming her career has been jeopardised after her topless image was repeatedly shared among colleagues, the New York Post reported citing a lawsuit.

In her Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit, she said that she joined the department in 2012 and sent the snap to Lt Mark Rivera, whom she dated for a few months that year.

Rivera allegedly shared the photo in a group text with other cops, which quickly circulated, but she claims union representatives advised her not to file a complaint.
