WINNIPEG Lawyers will make their closing arguments Tuesday in a trial happening in Brandon, stemming from a lawsuit filed by a former police officer over the non-consensual distribution of her intimate images. Brittany Roque, who was removed from a competition for a constable job with the Brandon Police Service (BPS) when the BPS received the photos, is suing Terri-Lyn Peters under Manitoba’s Intimate Image Protection Act for giving the images to Roque’s potential employer. The City of Brandon is named as a third party in the lawsuit. The act allows a person whose intimate image was distributed without consent to sue the person who distributed the photo.
WINNIPEG A Brandon police officer’s former girlfriend, who discovered nude images of multiple other women in his email account, testified in court she shared them without their consent. Terri-Lyn Peters gave that evidence Wednesday during a Court of Queen’s Bench civil trial in Brandon, Man. Peters is being sued by one of the women, Brittany Roque, under Manitoba’s Intimate Image Protection Act for giving the images to Roque’s potential employer. Peters’ lawyer is arguing her client did so because it was in the public interest. Roque alleges it was for revenge and retaliation. Due to COVID-19, witnesses are testifying online.
