SUNBURY – A former Sunbury police officer, who had a sexually explicit image of a teenage girl on her city-issued phone and let her juvenile son use that phone, was found guilty of a “conspiracy to commit tampering” charge, but found not guilty on a charge of theft.
The state Attorney General’s office said the verdict was handed up Tuesday for Jamie Quinn, and the judge dismissed theft and a tampering charge. Northumberland County DA Tony Matulewicz tells WKOK the AG prosecuted the case after the county said they had a conflict of interest, prosecuting an occasional witness for the police.
Quinn was charged by Stonington troopers last year, initially charged with not reporting that city owned cellphone turned up in the hands of some students at Line Mountain School District. There the students were allegedly transmitting sexually explicit pictures on it, and there is evidence, the teens were told by Quinn to delete the images and deny it–if questioned
