This is horrible and should serve as a warning to anyone sharing intimate pictures digitally.

Double mind here......the guy is a sicko, and she was really stupid to take the pictures in the first place.
If you take naked pix of yourself, they will end up on the internet.

He uploaded naked photos of her to the web. Photos that she’d sent to him in confidence. . . . . he allegedly uploaded a video of her masturbating . . . .

Yes this is horrible and yes, he's an A-hole, and yes, it should stop. But . . . . if she was stupid enough to email naked pictures of herself and videos of herself masturbating, I don't have much sympathy. The real lesson here is don't be stupid enough to think that racy pictures you email to people won't end up in the public domain.

Moral of the story: NO NAKED PIX OR VIDEOS!

It IS horrible, what’s happened to her. But one can’t help but think that there was one really, really simple way this situation could have been avoided.......

I can’t make my usual “I’d Hit It” comments.

But that being said, the woman was monumentally foolish to share nude shots of herself - “selfies”, as they’re called. Let her stand as a cautionary tale.

I agree but people in love are even more likely to do stupid things. :-)

LOL. And when you are about to get divorced or break up, they look even more stupid. In fact, at that point they look incredibly stupid.

Ms. Jacobs is working on establishing it as a non-profit. Through the site, she’s also collecting donations to help fund her anti-revenge porn efforts.

Finding a unique way to make a living with porn. Some people have real problems.

You are right and truthfully once something is digital it can be intercepted and distributed so easily. It really could’ve been any number of people. All it takes is a nosey friend with a USB drive or some guy fixing your computer and tada you get to be the “Naked Professor”.

Here’s something else. If you have compromising photos on one devise and your child has another devise also registered to you, and the devises are synched, by you or the child or a hostile ex, guess where all those photos go?

Yes definitely foolish. It may be “fun” to get those type of pics from your lady but it isn’t wise. It makes me feel a bit old. The first time a lady sent me a naked pic was snail mail when I was 17. I’d met her on Prodigy at 2400 baud. lol

“Acts of capitalism between consenting adults.”

She didn’t consent to have her pictures put up on the web. He either needs to make restitution, or he needs to go to jail.

Quoted for truth.

That is a cynical way to look at it. I was wondering why someone who changed their name to get beyond this suddenly decided to go on a publicity tour. I suppose she figures she might as well get her own form of revenge ala moolah.

And to think we sent Neil and Buzz to the moon on 2400 baud.

Today, NASA reaches out to Muslims.

She was in love with the guy and probably thought he was the "one." It's easy to say in hindsight she shouldn't have given him any pictures, but at the time she trusted him.

I hope he does at least some time in jail.
