'Revenge porn' operator gets 18 years in prison
 

Wow! Finally, some common sense and justice in this country.:yeah:

Does that put him on the sex offender list? Would be poetic justice.

Hahaha, that miserable scumbag, he might learn about a completely new kind of porn as well now!

Shower revenge sex.

Had he not been trying to make money to remove the stuff - he wouldn't be in a cell. Someone with a brain and no morals will end up reversing the money side. If the pictures are legally obtained, and the ex then wants to post them publicly, one could charge a fee to upload them. A really smart operator would include in the TOS that the person pictured could request, via link/direct email - to have the data removed. If such a request was received, the removal would be at no charge.

This would remove the legal issues for the operator. Provided of course that he didn't commit identity theft as well....

Note - I do not support such a morally reprehensible action, just analyzing the legal argument.

An appropriate sentence, totally befitting the crime :yep:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Now what the hell
I'm going to masturbate to?


(Seriously though, good riddance.)

If you don't want nudie pics of yourself ever to see the light of day then don't take them in the first place!

This applies to everyone, including 'celebs'.

Whilst the site is morally wrong it's the uploader that should experience the full extent of the law. The guy was just cashing in on stupidity.

Oh, I agree, but to monetize a system of revenge and extortion, whew! That's pretty bad.

Got to hand it to him for the entrepreneurial spirit but this is a bit overboard.

I have a number of nude photos of my ex girlfriend. She is a cute, petite red head with emerald green eyes

I would never post her pictures freely on a revenge site that would use them to exploit her.

:nope:

I'll do it myself

bidding starts at $5 each :haha:

Beat me to it....the punchline :)

Is there a discount for bundles or a special Easter offer?:D

Do you also blame victims of rape that they have been wearing too sexy clothes?

Putting material like this, without permission, online or share it in whatever way, is a criminal act. Period.

Sounds like the government to me.....

Apples, Oranges.

Look if this was a case of some pervert who shot these pictures without the victim's consent or aware that they've been made and suddently being harrashed by it via blackmail that these pictures will appear online and stay there untill a sum of money has been paid then yes I would put the blame solely on the pervert.

Whilst probably most cases it was never the intent to have these appear online unlike some celebrities they where happily to make them on a device that can upload them to anywhere on the web or cloud which can be compromised.

He should've been sentenced for extortion and blackmailing not for cases of identity theft as he wasn't the one who uploaded them with the personal data.
