Two former Capitol Hill staffers were indicted this week in connection with the alleged sharing of "private, nude images and videos" swiped from a congresswoman's cellphone.

The footage depicts Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett, identified in court documents as "Delegate S.P.," and her husband.

In March 2016, Plaskett entrusted her iPhone and its password to staffer Juan McCullum, who copied the images and videos after offering to take the phone to an Apple store for repairs, the indictment alleges.

In July 2016, McCullum, who had left Plaskett's office, allegedly created a Hotmail account and "sent at least eleven email messages to multiple persons, including politicians, members of the media, and other persons known to [Plaskett]."

At least 10 of the emails contained "one or more of the nude images and videos," according to the indictment .

McCullum also allegedly created a Facebook account, uploaded the visual content, and then friended people in Plaskett's district.

McCullum was indicted Tuesday by a grand jury on two counts of cyberstalking, the U.S. attorney's office in the nation's capital announced Thursday afternoon.

Another former Plaskett staffer, Dorene Browne-Louis, was indicted on two counts of obstruction of justice.

Browne-Louis was allegedly told by McCullum of his activities before deleting incriminating text messages and lying to investigators and members of the grand jury.

Browne-Louis made an initial court appearance Thursday. She pleaded not guilty and was released on personal recognizance.

McCullum's initial court appearance has not been scheduled, according to a release from the U.S. attorney's office, and it's unclear if he has been arrested.

The cyberstalking charge carries a statutory maximum of five years in prison. The obstruction of justice charge carries a statutory maximum of 20 years, according to the prosecutor's office.

Plaskett released a statement Thursday evening thanking authorities for their investigation and her constituents for showing "tremendous care, sensitivity and love throughout this ordeal."

"Last year, my privacy was invaded, which was followed by an organized smear campaign and defamatory press reports concerning both me and my family," Plaskett said. "I am deeply grateful to the Capitol Police and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia for their thorough and in depth investigating [of] the crimes committed against me and those who I love."

The leaked personal content was covered by news publications last year after it was posted online, but it was not immediately clear who was responsible. Plaskett said at the time the release was "shockingly disgusting."
