    Default Revenge Porn Site Owner Kevin Bollaert Gets 18 Years

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this topic, so if it isn't I'm sorry.

    I came across this story last night. Kevin Bollaert got 18 years for running a revenge porn site and extorting people for money to get the content & their personal information removed. I know Hunter Moore was arested a year ago for his sites, but from my understanding he is currently out on bail. So glad they are cracking down on these sites. So disgusting.

    I've posted two articles below. I hate the sites I've sourced in the links, but every other site I checked out only gave a few line blurb on the subject.

    A California man who posted thousands of sexually explicit photos of men and women on a "revenge porn" website was jailed for 18 years on Friday in what was described as the first case of its kind in US criminal history.

    Kevin Bollaert, 28, of San Diego, was convicted of running a website that hosted more than 10,000 explicit photographs.

    Kamala Harris, California Attorney General, said it marked the first criminal prosecution of a cyber-exploitation website operator in the United States.

    Bollaert's website - ugotposted.com - was launched in December 2012, enabling photographs to be posted without the subject's permission.

    Bollaert ran a parallel site that then extorted individuals up to $350 (£230) each to remove photographs from the revenge porn website. ...
    A San Diego man who operated a 'revenge porn' website and then charged victims to remove nude images and their personal information was sentenced Friday to 18 years in state prison, the attorney general's office said.

    Kevin Bollaert, 28, was convicted in February of 21 counts of identity theft and six counts of extortion in San Diego Superior Court for running a pair of websites that capitalized on the internet as a forum for public shaming.

    The landmark case was the first time a person had been tried for a running revenge porn ring in the United States.

    Jilted lovers and hackers could anonymously post nude photos of people without their consent, along with personal information about them, at a website Bollaert created and moderated, called ugotposted.com.

    More than 10,000 images, mainly of women, were posted between December 2012 and September 2013.

    People who sought to have the explicit images taken down were directed to changemyreputation.com and charged $250 to $350 to remove the racy content.

    Victims included teachers, wives and professionals. ...

    Since it is a white collar crime the boy won't know how to make a shank out of his feces and hair. Therefore, he will become the gimp of the alpha prison lunk.

    Dude ruined lives, I think the sentence is pretty light considering he only got 8 months in prison for each count.

    ^He absolutely ruined lives, not as some indirect effect of his actions but in a ruthless calculated way...he posted womens full names, addresses and social media addresses as well as the 'porn'.

    He cried at his sentencing...poor diddums, zero sympathy.

    The SUPER interesting thing about this case is that he was not only convicted of extortion but he was also convicted of identity theft for posting names, addresses and social media details.

    This means that this case might be a game changer if they have decided that posting those types of things publicly now fall under the identity theft laws.

    I don't know how I feel about the prison rape jokes. It's so weird to me that rape is acceptable in America if it is done in a prison setting cuz someone did something bad. I think the 18 years in prison is enough.

    18 years of free housing and meals is not enough when it comes to ruining countless lives forever. This guy gets tax free living. His victims lost their jobs, reputation, privacy and rights which have lead to further suffering forever for no fucking reason other than this guy wanting to make a quick buck. This guy deserves every single year plus all the prison consequences.

    Awesome update on revenge porn...

    Google to censor 'revenge porn' search results

    SAN FRANCISCO -- Google plans to censor unauthorized nude photos from its influential Internet search engine in a policy change aimed at cracking down on a malicious practice known as "revenge porn."

    The new rules announced Friday will allow people whose naked pictures have been posted on a website without their permission to ask Google to prevent links to the image from appearing in its search results. A form for submitting the censorship requests to Google should be available within the next few weeks, according to the Mountain View, California, company.

    Google traditionally has resisted efforts to erase online content from its Internet search engine, maintaining that its judgments about information and images should be limited to how relevant the material is to each person's query. That libertarian approach helped establish Google as the world's most dominant search engine, processing roughly two-thirds of all online requests for information.

    The company decided to make an exception with the unauthorized sharing of nude photos because those images are often posted by ex-spouses and jilted romantic partners or extortionists demanding ransoms to take down the pictures.

    "Revenge porn images are intensely personal and emotionally damaging, and serve only to degrade the victims -- predominantly women," Amit Singhal, Google's senior vice-president of search, wrote in a Friday blog post.

    Google's stand against revenge porn won't necessarily purge it from the Internet because it has no authority to order other sites to remove offensive or even illegal content. But Google is hoping revenge porn will prove less mortifying to its intended victims by making it more difficult to find.

    Other heavily trafficked sites, including the social forum Reddit, have embraced policies banning nude photos from being posted without the subject's permission. Earlier this year, Google tried to prohibit sexually explicit material from the publicly accessible sites in its Blogger service only to reverse itself within a few days amid cries of unwarranted censorship among Blogger's users.

    This isn't the first time Google has excised sensitive content from its search index. In most instances, the company has been forced to do so under laws imposed in various countries where it operates. While its search engine operated in mainland China from 2006 through 2010, Google blocked information that the country's Communist government deemed to be inappropriate and the company has been scrubbing humiliating information from people's pasts in Europe for the past year.

    Honestly, if a man raped a child, a woman, or even another guy that didn't ask for it, I feel like if that happened to him, I would have no sympathy.
