A Massive Scandal Is Brewing in Los Angeles After DA George Gascon's Number 3 Is Charged With 11 Felonies.
LA County Assistant DA Diana Teran, who oversaw George Gascon's efforts to prosecute law enforcement officers instead of criminals and to release thousands of felons from prison early, was arrested Saturday on 11 felony charges related to the "unauthorized use of data from confidential, statutorily-protected peace officer files." Like many alleged felons in Los Angeles County, Teran was out on bail less than an hour after her arrest.
Unlike many alleged felons in Los Angeles County, the Diana Teran scandal has the potential to topple the county's power structure, or to put a severe dent in it.
That potential exists because of the sheer volume of personnel and criminal cases Teran was involved with that might now be challenged in court, and because her actions at issue in the criminal case allegedly involve coordination with high-ranking county officials, such as Inspector General Max Huntsman, District Attorney George Gascon, and current and former members of the county Board of Supervisors.
According to a press release from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Teran "accessed computer data including numerous confidential peace officer files in 2018, while working as a Constitutional Policing Advisor at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and, after joining the LADA in January 2021, impermissibly used that data at the LADA."
That sounds rather vanilla, but additional details on what Teran is alleged to have done demonstrate that there's nothing vanilla about it at all. It's more convoluted than any script Hollywood could come up with. At this time it's not clear specifically which peace officer files Teran has been charged with using improperly since the detailed criminal complaint was filed under seal, but the following information on her activities relating to personnel files has been provided to RedState by numerous sources in law enforcement, county government, and in Gascon's office:
