Back in 2015, Kristen Johnson thought it was good practice as a Nurse to take her iPhone and snap a photo of her unconscious patient’s penis, and then share that photo with her co-workers. Now in 2016, Kristen has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and was forced to give up her practicing license.
Kristen Johnson was forced to give up her license as part of a plea deal where she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disseminating of unlawful surveillance photos.
Her conviction came after a nine-month investigation by the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office into complaints from her Upstate University Hospital co-workers that she sent pictures of two patients via text message.
She was originally charged with two counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance and one count of second-degree disseminating unlawful surveillance.
The felony charge against her was reduced as part of her plea, which also requires Johnson to spend three years on probation.
According to the state, Johnson surrendered her license and did not contest the charge of moral unfitness in the practice.
