Vanessa Bryant , the widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, named four Los Angeles County sheriffs deputies on Wednesday who had obtained and shared photos from the site of the helicopter crash that killed her husband and daughter Gianna Bryant last year.

Vanessa Bryant posted images on Instagram of the lawsuit that names Los Angeles County, the countys fire department, the sheriffs department led by Alex Villanueva, as well as four sheriffs deputies: Joey Cruz, Rafael Mejia, Michael Russell and Raul Versales.

Those names were previously redacted while a judge determined if they could be revealed.

County attorneys wanted to keep the deputies names sealed over concerns that hackers might target them to obtain and publish the photos. The effort was rejected last week by District Judge John F. Walter, who said in a ruling that this is totally inconsistent with their position that such photographs no longer exist.

Bryant also shared nine other images from the lawsuit containing disturbing allegations about how the deputies acquired and distributed the images of the retired Los Angeles Lakers star and his 13-year-old daughter, who died along with seven other people when their helicopter went down in Calabasas, California, on Jan. 26, 2020.
