WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said on Thursday it filed a complaint in federal court charging Gregory Reyes, former chief executive of Brocade Communications Systems Inc. (BRCD.O: Quote, Profile, Research), with misconduct linked to stock option grant practices.

In the first civil charges to emerge from the unfolding options timing scandal, the SEC alleged that from 2000 to 2004, Brocade concealed millions of dollars in expenses from investors and overstated its income by falsifying records relating to employee stock option grants.

"The fraudulent scheme was orchestrated by former chief executive officer Gregory L. Reyes, who routinely backdated documents and evaded rules requiring Brocade to publicly report these compensation expenses," the SEC alleged in its complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose.
