This POS got 18 years and cried like a little bitch when the judge sentenced him. HaHaFuckingHa. I'm delighted with his sentence. I hope there's some truth to the old adage "honor among thieves" and he further pays with a pound of flesh in the slammer. Cocksucka.
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.
The compromising photos cost people jobs, damaged relationships and led to one attempted suicide.
Bollaert earned about $900 a month in website ad revenue and collected about $30,000 from victims.
