The LAPD’s investigation into that leaked police evidence photo of pop singer Rihanna’s bloody face covered in bruises, has been completed.
According to ContactMusic, two female LAPD cops have been suspended. The photo was leaked to the Internet by TMZ.com, which reportedly paid $68,000 for the image.
The photo was snapped during a police investigation after Rihanna was viciously beaten by her then boyfriend Chris Brown as the two sat in a rented Lamborghini in the early morning hours of February 9, 2009.
The cops’ homes, cars, offices, lockers and bank accounts were searched as part of the investigation into the leaked photo.
The officers, one based at the Wilshire Area station and the other at Hollenbeck, face disciplinary charges and possible termination if their involvement with the leaked photo can be proven.
Brown pleaded guilty to domestic assault last month and was sentenced to 5 years probation and community service.
