Mississippi State trooper fired after sending her sex tape of her and another woman to her colleagues

Mississippi State Trooper Ivana Williams was fired after sending a video of her having sex with another woman to other troopers.

A Mississippi state trooper, Ivana Williams, has been fired after distributing explicit images and videos, leading to a complex legal battle with a woman involved in the footage. Williams, dismissed from the Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP), is now suing the woman for $20 million, while the woman has sued Williams for $11 million.

Williams was terminated after an investigation by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety found that she had sent explicit images to her superiors and accessed pornographic websites on her state-issued phone. The unnamed woman in the video claims that Williams assured her the tape would be deleted but instead shared it.

The woman, representing herself after two attorneys withdrew, accuses Williams of taking the video without consent, inflicting emotional distress, invasion of privacy, defamation, conspiracy, and civil battery. "Much of that night is a blur," she stated in the lawsuit. "I became unusually and extremely intoxicated. The next morning I woke up in bed without my clothes on... I was aware a sexual encounter had taken place but had difficulty remembering any of what happened."

Now, Williams and the other woman have filed lawsuits against each other over the scandal.

Williams maintains that the encounter was consensual and claims she shared the video with only one other person. She also alleges that her firing was retaliatory and discriminatory, noting that male troopers engaged in similar behavior without facing consequences. She cited an instance of a master sergeant who had a sex video on his state-issued phone but was not disciplined.

In addition to Williams, two other state troopers, Julius Hutson and Jeremy Lott, were fired in connection with the incident. Williams, who is active on social media, has consistently proclaimed her innocence and described the situation as a "she-said, she-said" case.

After the lawsuit was filed, Williams was transferred from Rankin County to Bolivar County, a move she claims was done without explanation and placed her over 100 miles away from her children. She appealed the transfer but was fired six days later for unprofessional conduct and misuse of state property.

Williams expressed her eagerness for her day in court, stating, "I have told you all that I am innocent and I can’t wait until my day in court so I can prove my innocence. Lately in society, it’s not until you’re proven guilty. No, you’re guilty until proven innocent."
