A former Birmingham police officer is fighting to get his job back after he was caught sexting on the job.
Former officer Jason Yarbrough admits he texted explicit photos of himself to a woman. He was fired in January after an internal investigation.
“He’s very sorry he did that. It had nothing to do with his ability to be a police officer,” Yarbrough’s attorney Scott Morro says.
Morro filed an appeal in Jefferson County Circuit Court fighting his client’s termination from the Birmingham Police Department.

One new article link has been added to our Related News page. WSFA published an article titled Report: Dad beat teen unconscious after witnessing child sex assault.
Police say a Daytona Beach father beat an 18-year-old man unconscious after finding the teen sexually abusing his son.
The victim’s father reportedly called 911 early Friday morning after he walked in on the alleged abuse. When officers arrived they found 18-year-old Raymond Frolander, who they say was lying motionless on the living room floor.
He had several knots on his face and was bleeding from the mouth.
The father, who was not identified by police, told investigators that he walked in as Frolander was abusing the boy and “took physical action towards [Frolander] to prevent him from leaving the scene before police could arrive.”

Related News: Snowden: NSA employees routinely pass around intercepted nude photos
One new article link has been added to our Related News page. Ars Technica published an article titled Snowden: NSA employees routinely pass around intercepted nude photos.
If Snowden’s allegations of sexual photo distribution are true, they would be consistent with what the NSA has already reported. In September 2013, in a letter from the NSA’s Inspector General Dr. George Ellard to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the agency outlined a handful of instances during which NSA agents admitted that they had spied on their former love interests. This even spawned a nickname within the agency, LOVEINT—a riff on HUMINT (human intelligence) or SIGINT (signals intelligence).
“You’ve got young enlisted guys, 18 to 22 years old,” Snowden said. “They’ve suddenly been thrust into a position of extraordinary responsibility where they now have access to all of your private records. In the course of their daily work they stumble across something that is completely unrelated to their work in any sort of necessary sense. For example, an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising position. But they’re extremely attractive.
