Shawn Darling has accused Shaq of hacking into his computer and leaving images of child pornography.
Those allegations -- as well as the names of the police officers and sexually explicit e-mails and text messages between O'Neal and several women with whom he was involved -- are included in the amended complaint of a civil lawsuit originally filed in Miami-Dade circuit court last year.
Darling, who worked for O'Neal between 2007 and 2009 as a technology expert, is seeking damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and civil racketeering.
The suit seeks damages in excess of $45,000.
Well-known as a police buff, O'Neal called on his law enforcement pals to "frame [Darling] for possession of child pornography, have his house stormed by police, have him arrested for it, and have his computers confiscated while he is hauled off to jail as an accused child pornographer," the complaint says.
"O'Neal and his henchmen would stop [at] nothing to get what O'Neal needed," the lawsuit alleges.
Among those police officers named in the amended complaint, filed July 26, is a current sergeant in the Miami Beach police internal affairs division and a former Miami Beach police chief.
Also named is a detective with the Tempe, Ariz., police.
Wow. First being associated with gangbangers and now using cop buddies to frame an ex-employee. Talk about giving someone hell and charging them rent. If there's one message about these wild allegations, it's dont' mess with Shaq.
