Alleged revenge porn site operator heads to trial

Source: AP-Excite

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A San Diego judge determined prosecutors have enough evidence against the alleged operator of a revenge porn site for him to face trial on conspiracy, identity theft and extortion charges, a state spokesman said Monday.

Kevin Christopher Bollaert, 27, appeared before San Diego County Superior Court Judge David M. Gill on Monday and returns to court July 16 for what's being heralded as the first case against a revenge porn site operator, said Nicholas Pacilio, a spokesman for California Attorney General Kamala Harris. Bollaert has pleaded not guilty to 31 felony counts.

His attorney Alexander Landon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Authorities say the Bollaert earned tens of thousands dollars operating two websites for the scheme.

Revenge porn is sexually explicit media that is publicly shared online without the consent of the pictured individual.

Revenge porn is typically uploaded by ex-partners or hackers.[1] Many of the images are pictures taken by the pictured persons themselves (selfies).[2] The images are often accompanied by personal information, including the pictured individual's full name, links to Facebook and social media profiles or addresses.[3][4]

The karma is so incredibly bad! How much hatred to you have to have for the opposite sex to be able to sleep at night?

penalty for what he has done. You have to have been hunted to get the depth of his effect on others.
