MICHIGAN WOMAN AWARDED $ 500K IN CASE OF REVENGE PORN

In what might be Michigan’s first revenge-pornography case resulting in a monetary judgment, a woman was awarded $ 500,000 this week after her ex- boyfriend posted nude photos of her on multiple Internet sites.

The woman’s identity was not disclosed to the Detroit Free Press by her lawyer, Kyle Bristow. Bristow said the defendant resides in Macomb County, Mich., but he declined to release his identity.

According to court records, Oakland County Circuit Judge Martha Anderson awarded the sum Wednesday. Anderson also granted an injunction forcing the ex- boyfriend to immediately destroy and never republish the photos. — Katrease Stafford,
