A Dallas public defender is facing federal charges after she allegedly struck up a relationship with one of her former clients and provided him with sensitive information about his brother’s case.

Ragan Sierra Moreno, 28, is accused of providing Todd Whitfield – an inmate at the Dallas County jail – with sensitive case information that he used to threaten one of his brother’s alleged victims, according to court documents obtained by WFAA.
