According to court documents, Cooper was a Pretrial Services Officer employed at PSA within the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia, where she was responsible for tracking and maintaining sensitive identifiable on individuals the agency supervises.
On several occasions in October and November 2022, Cooper looked up confidential information about an individual who was under pretrial supervision and shared the information, including the individual’s name, photograph, and home address, with a member of the individual’s rival gang with whom she was in a personal relationship, prosecutors said.
As part of her guilty plea, Cooper was required to be removed from her position with PSA. She will face a year in prison when she is sentenced.
