I don't think the agent's action is proper, but it had nothing to do with computer fraud per se, nor is it the legislation intention.

Suppose someone was granted access to evidence room, but had a look at the evidence that is not of his case, or a case file that he have access to for reasons not work-related. And those generally falls in the area of internal regulation, in which case the agency takes the legal blame for the agent, and should it take actions against the agent, it might be supported.

Plain simply, even if those records are physical the referred agent could have done the same thing. Logically, it's not a matter of abusive conduct through computer, it's a matter of abusing public power.
