An investigation is underway after several photos of a nude woman posing with a Laredo fire truck, police car and landmark were posted to social media, calling the circumstances of the images into question.

Laredo Fire Chief Steve Landin filed a police report on Tuesday after he was made aware of the nude photos that have circulated on social media, Some of the photos feature a now-decommissioned Laredo fire truck.

While the nude photos themselves aren't exactly criminal, Landin said the woman and her photographer had to have trespassed to snag the "damaging" photo. Landin said he told the police department he would like to press charges on the woman for trespassing and indecent exposure.

Landin said the photos are at least two years old as truck in the photo was retired around that time, and that the incident — which he recently became aware of despite the age of the photos — has tarnished the reputation of his organization as some have suggested firefighters took the photos.

"It's one thing to do it in their own privacy, but to put other people's careers in jeopardy," Landin said via phone Wednesday.

Additionally, Landin said he feels his department has taken the brunt of the woman's "reckless" actions as Laredo news organizations only have mentioned the photos of the woman at the fire department, despite the nude photos she took in front of a police car and in front of the World Trade Bridge.

"We're not the only place this lady has taken her clothes off at," Landin said.

Landin said he believes that the photos were taken by the woman's husband, but isn't certain what their motive is in what he called "self gratifying" photos.

Calls to the Laredo Police Department were not immediately returned Wednesday afternoon, however, further research into the origin of the photos has pointed to a now-deactivated Tumblr account under the alias JennyShowing.

It appears the photos were posted in April and May of this year. It's unclear when the Tumblr account was deleted, or the reason behind the deactivation of the account.
