Vanessa Bryant’s lawyer, Gary Robb, said his client went to the sheriff’s office on 26 January, the day of the crash, “and requested that the area be designated a no-fly zone and protected from photographers.”
Robb added: “This was of critical importance to her as she desired to protect the dignity of all the victims, and their families. At that time, Sheriff Alex Villanueva assured us all measures would be put in place to protect the families’ privacy, and it is our understanding that he has worked hard to honor those requests.”
Robb said the sharing of photos would be “an unspeakable violation of human decency, respect, and of the privacy rights of the victims and their families.” He called for those who shared the photos to “face the harshest possible discipline, and that their identities be brought to light, to ensure that the photos are not further disseminated.”
