Mississippi State Trooper Fired Over Sex Tape is Now Suing the Woman She Filmed With

'At least they got my good side,' the former trooper wrote on Facebook Thursday

A Mississippi state trooper fired over a sex tape she allegedly sent to her male colleagues is now suing the woman who appears in the video with her.

Authorities accused former MHP Trooper Ivana Williams of unprofessional conduct and misuse of state property.

She was laid off in February after allegedly sending sexually explicit content of her and another woman to her coworkers from her state-issued cell phone sometime in 2022, according to WLBT-TV, The Independent, and the New York Post.

The unidentified woman claimed the video was captured without her consent and sued Williams in November for $11 million, citing emotional distress, invasion of privacy, defamation, conspiracy, and civil battery.

"Much of that night is a blur," the unidentified victim said in a complaint obtained by WLBT. "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."

The victim claimed she confronted Williams about the recording, to which Williams allegedly reassured her that her face was not shown.

Months later, she discovered the video was allegedly circulating among the troopers.

"I also sent [redacted] another text message informing her how violated I felt and that she had also violated my trust by sending this video out without my consent and exploiting me for no other reason than to sexually entertain her boyfriend," the victim alleged in the complaint. "That was the last contact I had with [redacted]."

"At this point, I have no idea the exact number of people who have this video," she stated. "Based on what I've been told, a lot of our law enforcement community have it. MHP heads and officers are sharing it."

Now, Williams is counter suing the victim on grounds her reputation and business relationships were damaged. She is seeking $20 million, according to the station.

"At least they got my good side," Williams wrote on Facebook Thursday, captioning a screenshot of the Daily Mail's coverage of her firing, which she claimed was retaliatory.

Two other state troopers – Julius Hutson and Jeremy Lott – were also let go in connection with the incident.
