A former employee at the Radio Shack in Corte Madera is charged with stealing racy personal photos off a customer's cellphone.
Jose Robert Miranda, 24, of Richmond is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Marin Superior Court. He is free on bail.
Miranda and Radio Shack have also been named as defendants in a civil lawsuit by the alleged victim, a 28-year-old San Francisco woman.
The woman says she brought the phone to the Radio Shack in November to get its broken glass repaired. On Jan. 8, she was deleting photos from her tablet, which is connected to her call phone through iCloud, when she realized 17 of her photos had been texted to an unfamiliar phone number.
"The photographs in question were of a private and sensitive nature and depicted the Plaintiff wearing little or no clothing," her attorney, Timothy Osborn of Bakersfield, wrote in the lawsuit.

What’s with girls nowadays taking pictures of every private place you can imagine, then they send them to a bf......what the heck..........
Nah, Shelly Duvall OWNED that role in Robin Williams' 'Popeye' like Heath Ledger owned Batman's Joker.
yup, that’s why a lot of people learned to develop their own photos.
she looks a little sickly. needs to eat some real food regularly.
Hate to tell ya, but the guys are doing it too. They just don't sue when the pics get published...
Ex-CHP officer sorry for stealing racy cell photos
A former California Highway Patrol officer “abused his authority” and is deeply sorry for his “insensitivity” in stealing racy cell photos from two women he had arrested for drunken driving, his attorney said Monday.
Sean Harrington, 35, of Martinez made his first court appearance after being charged with two felony counts of theft and copying computer data belonging to two women.
He did not enter a plea and spoke only once, saying, “I do” when Judge Terri Mockler of Contra Costa County Superior Court asked if he was willingly giving up his right to a speedy trial. He was ordered to return to court Nov. 14, at which time he may enter a plea.
Harrington, who resigned from the CHP last week, left the court without commenting. Earlier Monday, he surrendered at County Jail in Martinez and was freed after posting $10,000 bail.
His wife sat in the courtroom gallery and supports him, his attorney Michael Rains said after the brief hearing. Rains said Harrington is a father of two children.
Rains said that although his client had in the past described his conduct as a “game” and a “joke,” according to court records, Harrington’s behavior was far from that.
“This is no game,” Rains said. “What he meant was, 'I didn’t do anything with it other than look at it myself, I sent it to one or two other people, we thought it was cute, we thought it was funny. We didn’t send it anywhere else, we didn’t put it on the Internet, we didn’t put it on Facebook, it went no further.’”
Rains said Harrington “recognized the impropriety of his conduct. He knew that that kind of conduct should and will cost him a career in law enforcement and, frankly, it should cost him a career in law enforcement. He tarnished his own name, and he tarnished the good name of law enforcement officers everywhere.”
If convicted, Harrington could be sentenced to anywhere from probation to three years and eight months in prison.
Rains asked for the arraignment to be postponed, saying he needed to review the evidence surrounding what he said was a relatively new statute that had not been tested.
But prosecutor Barry Grove said outside court that the law wasn’t complicated, saying, “If you go into somebody’s cell phone and you take their nude selfies without their permission, it’s a crime.”
Grove said Harrington’s actions were “egregious, not only because of the invasion of privacy, but because it undermines the public trust in the criminal justice system.”
Grove said he couldn’t charge other officers who allegedly received photos from Harrington with receiving stolen property, because the women still have their pictures in their possession.
“If I take a picture of your picture and you still have your picture, that’s not stolen property,” Grove said. “Definitely some of the text messages that we’ve all seen are especially unappealing and unethical, but commenting on those photographs is not a crime as well, even though there may be consequences for them at their jobs.”
Bikini photos of a 19-year-old woman were allegedly stolen by Harrington as she was undergoing X-rays after being involved in a suspected DUI crash in Livermore on Aug. 7.
“Taken from the phone of my 10-15x while she’s in X-rays,” Harrington allegedly texted fellow Dublin CHP Officer Robert Hazelwood. In police parlance, “10-15x” refers to a female arrestee.
Hazelwood in turn responded, “No f— nudes?” senior district attorney’s office inspector Darryl Holcombe wrote in a search warrant affidavit.
Then, on Aug. 29, Harrington secretly forwarded at least five photos that belonged to a 23-year-old woman he had arrested on suspicion of DUI in San Ramon, authorities said.
That woman found out what happened when she looked at her iPad, which was synced to her iPhone, authorities said. She hired a lawyer and notified the district attorney’s office.
Prosecutors opted not to charge that woman in her DUI case because of Harrington’s alleged conduct, court records show.

"But I was just checking for barrel distortion or spherical aberrations in the lens, and possible problems with file compression that would make her look fat!"
But I wonder, if it had been a guy's phone, and a female employee who did the same thing... ???
"I thought it was from Carlos Danger and he wanted me to have them."

Yeah ... you can probably count on it. If you’re turning your iOS device over to a technician ... they’ll look through it all.
If it’s possible (depending on the nature of the problem with the device) erase your device (after making a backup first). I’ve had no problem completely restoring my iPad (two different times) back to the original condition I had it in ... using iCloud! You can also use iTunes!
Couple years ago while kidding my nephew about his lack of a girlfriend he claimed that he had lots of girls that hit on him and some sent unsolicited photos. I laughed at him(he is my brother’s kid and I love him buthe is no Brad Pitt if you know what I mean) and as proof he quickly showed me 4-7 partially to completely nekked girls. He saw my jaw drop and laughed that it is the most normal thing i college these days
Well at least that would tell me which girls would likely be trouble. Could you blame an old fuddy duddy for thinking that the best thing about a gal is not that she is trying to get into as many pants as she can??
She looks “sickly?”
What? She looks fine to me! Slim girls are are great! Not fatties when they’re 40. If she eats more, it will go to her gut and her thighs. My ex had that kinda figure, and it’s great.
Some like ‘em fat and some like ‘em skinny ... :-) ...
My thoughts exactly. She looks HOT!
What is wrong with women these days? Why would they take such photos of themselves? Why would they save such photos?
Hmmmm....as I recall, the Peppers had a deal with their concessions crew. Show your tits, get a free T-shirt.
Hey it happened just down the road...here in Marin County where almost eveyone has more money than brains
