Woman sues ex-bf for posting private photos of her online

I hope she takes every penny he has, and half his income for the rest of his life. Once you put something on the internet there is no way to ever fully remove it. It is like he is going out there and harassing her every day.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk...BUT. Has any young woman who's posed naked in the past 5-10 years for someone she really "loved" and "trusted" NOT seen all the multiple examples of why this is a bad idea? Come on. Are so many women this trusting and obtuse? If someone is the victim of digital video voyeurism, or unwanted upskirt type photography, they have my sympathy. But anyone who willingly got naked for someone they were dating, or shacked up with, should know, based on the multitude of stories about this kind of thing happening, that there would be a strong chance their "private" photos would eventually be made public.

I agree with you Joe the Cop - ANY woman or man who has their "friend" take a picture of them (and probably with a phone camera) is only asking to be in the public eye. What dumb person could possibly think otherwise? If the pics were taken surreptitiously that would be another thing but posing - no way should she get a dime from the boyfriend.

please let this b a lesson to all young girls that think they are in love. one day he will b your ex and the trust and love is gone and boom there u are exposed, and y dont men ever pose for these pict. for their ladies, come on ladies we got to b smarter than this

Sure she has a case, at least from what you've described. There is a strong case for intentional infliction of emotional distress (setting aside the always tricky aspect of damages) and probably invasion of privacy or even publication of private facts (may be stretching a bit to call them facts). In any case, it is not generally a valid legal defense to suits of this type that the plaintiff "should not have trusted me, come on, everybody knows what guys do with nude pictures of their girlfriends" or similar. The fact that she was naive is simply that. It does not change the fact that what he allegedly did was both intentional, violative, and surely intended to inflict distress on her (certainly once she asked them to be removed and he refused).

He should be held accountable for what he did. She trusted him with the photos and didn't have her permission to post them. However, like others have stated, allowing anyone to take x-rated photos to begin with is not smart. After the relationship is over, this is what can happen.

So I can't believe this, okay. What an idiot she is!! I mean really! Did she think this was a good idea to let some guy take photos of her? Think about it girls, because you are cheapening all of us by your stupidity. Get a brain! How do you expect to be taken seriously buy men at all when you are obviously so needy to flash him. And it will never get around, I suppose?!?! This is how the stupid are weeded out! So gullible, so naive, so sad.
