Man accused of revenge-porn Facebook post gets jail time
A Los Angeles man has been sentenced to a year in jail after his revenge-porn conviction for posting a topless photo of his ex-girlfriend on her employer’s Facebook page.
Noe Iniguez, 36, was sentenced on Monday, report the Los Angeles Times and LA Weekly. He was convicted for violating two restraining orders and California’s revenge-porn law, which bars the unauthorized posting of nude or sexual images of an individual for the purpose of causing emotional distress, according to a press release.
The conviction was the first by the Los Angeles City Attorney office under the revenge-porn statute signed into law in October 2013.
According to the press release, Iniguez, while using an alias, began posting derogatory messages about his girlfriend on her employer’s Facebook page in December 2013. He posted the topless photo in March 2014 along with a message that called her a “drunk” and a “slut” and encouraged her firing, the press release says.
Judge David Fields sentenced Iniguez to a year in jail and 36 months of probation, and ordered him to attend domestic violence counseling and to stay away from the victim.
