• Resumen

  • After a complaint filed on 10 December 2013, California authorities arrested a California resident for running a �revenge porn� website, charging him with 31 felony counts that include conspiracy, identity theft, and extortion. According to the complaint, the website, which is no longer operational, let people anonymously post explicit pictures of others and charged $350 to remove pictures. While the arrest comes on the heels of a first-in-the-nation law that California enacted to combat �revenge porn� websites the defendant was not charged under the newly-enacted law because it is geared towards those who post the incriminating pictures and not those who run websites that feature them.
