The offender apologized for taking photos of her when nude... Why it wasn’t necessary to write down ” she was ” after the word ” when ” in the sentence?

”she was” or ”she had been” is redundant here. ”nude” obviously refers back to ”her”. ”apologized” refers to an action in the past. So, ”she” is redundant and ”was” as a stative form of ”to be” is also redundant because of ”when”

You’ll see this construction more often in American English than British English.
