IMO, when Brocchini accused Scott to his face of "having girlfriends" (plural), he was possibly referring to that affair of Scott's from years earlier--if Brocchini had already heard about it at that time.

More likely, IMO, is that when Brocchini said "girlfriends" (plural) and "I've got pictures", he was just bluffing Scott. It is legal for Brocchini--or police in general--to lie to a suspect in order to try to jar the person into starting to make admissions. For example, when cops catch two co-perps, they often tell one of them, "Your friend has already ratted on you", even when it's not true--and cops can legally get away with this, and if the suspect reacts and starts making admissions, the admissions can be used against him!
