A state appeals court affirmed dismissal of a suit against the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office by a former police officer who claimed the office released information about his expunged criminal record.

The officer, referred to only as K.S., had been charged in 1996 with using his position on the Monmouth County Tactical Narcotics Task Force to coerce a woman to have sex with him, the Appellate Division said in its May 17 decision. Judge Jose Fuentes delivered the opinion.
