Lawyer Caught Taking Nude Photos of Woman While She was Getting a Spray Tan

According to court records, an assistant Fayette County prosecutor photographed a woman who was nude and receiving a spray tan across the street from the county attorney’s office without the woman’s consent, according to a lawsuit filed Friday. 

The unidentified male employee is accused of taking photos and/or video of the woman on April 4, 2024, while she was getting a spray tan in a home on East Main Street in downtown Lexington. The woman spotted the employee, the lawsuit says, and the tanning technician helped cover her up. The employee then turned off his office light but kept his phone out and facing the woman, the lawsuit says.

The woman was receiving a spray tan inside a home last spring before her upcoming wedding when the pictures were taken, according to court records.

After realizing she was being recorded, the woman had her lawyer contact Evans’ office to ensure any photos or videos were deleted. “Evans refused to allow an inspection,” the court records say.

Evans was appointed as Fayette County’s top prosecutor after her longtime predecessor, Larry Roberts, resigned in 2022. She then won a primary race in May, and with no challengers in the general election, she was affirmed to the position in 2023. 

The woman is seeking punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. Fayette Circuit Judge Julie Muth Goodman will preside over the case.

A hearing has not been set yet for the case.
