A veteran Lantana police officer was arrested Thursday after investigators say he sent a nude photo of a woman to her two teenage children after an argument on Valentine’s Day.

Christopher Decker, who has worked for the department since 1993, faces charges of distributing obscene material and using a two-way communication device to commit a felony. He was released from the Palm Beach County Jail on Friday afternoon after posting a $4,000 bond.

It was unclear Friday whether Decker will be paid while he is on administrative leave, Lantana Police Chief Sean Scheller said. The 46-year-old working as a road patrol officer at the time of his arrest.

On Valentine’s Day, Lantana police were called to an undisclosed home to investigate a domestic disturbance. Eventually, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office was asked to investigate the case.

The woman explained to officers that Decker was upset about a phone call she had with a male friend. The woman left the apartment they share with her two children to go Valentine’s Day shopping. The precise nature of Decker and the woman’s relationship is redacted from the arrest report.

When she returned to the residence, Decker was not there. When he returned, she said he appeared intoxicated and threw things at her. Eventually, Decker got into bed with the woman and threatened to call her friends, then showed her a text message of an explicit screenshot he was sending to her two teens, according to the report.

The 50-year-old woman told investigators Decker sent "private information from an adult website" to her kids.

According to the report, Decker sent a message saying, "HERE IS YOUR MOM" with a screenshot of two naked women and a man from a profile on the website, Fetlife.com. The website bills itself as "Like Facebook, but run by kinksters," referring to the "BDSM, fetish and kinky community."

The woman told investigators Decker showed her the text message before he sent it against her wishes.

Decker then took her phone and threatened to smash it, she told investigators. As she attempted to get it back, Decker got physical and threatened to hurt her children as well. Neither of the woman’s sons were in the residence during the incident.

The woman was able to get out of the apartment and called police. While speaking with detectives, Decker text messaged the woman asking her if she wanted him to "share her information" with the investigators. She said he was referring to the adult social networking website.

Decker eventually apologized to the woman’s sons through text messages but claimed that she had sent information about him to his daughter.

Police spoke with the two teens who were out on Valentine’s Day. One teen said he was out on a date when he received the message. He responded asking what Decker he just sent. The other teen said he refused to respond to the group text message, but instead threw cold water on Decker while he was asleep.

At his first appearance hearing Friday morning at the jail, Judge Caroline Shepherd ordered Decker to have no contact with any minor children. She also ordered that he consume neither drugs nor alcohol and that he be randomly tested.

Decker has no prior criminal history, according to court records.
