Revenge-Porn Website Operator Convicted
Published at
psphotograph/iStock/Thinkstock(SAN DIEGO) — A California man has become the first person to be convicted for running a revenge-porn website that impacted the lives of many women.
Kevin Bollaert could receive up to 20 years in prison for running the website UGotPosted.com after he was found guilty by a jury on Monday.
The site allowed users to post nude pictures of their ex-lovers, and then prosecutors say he would charge victims to take down the photos.
“The postings included the victims’ names, their full names, the cities in which they lived, their Facebook profile links, and other personal information,” California Attorney General Kamala Harris said on Tuesday.
Bollaert is expected to be sentenced in April.
