The profiles allegedly set up by her ex-boyfriend contained nude photos of her along with her email address and work phone number. (Note: The member profiles have since been taken down by Yahoo)."

In our finger-in-the-chili, burned-by-hot-coffee, neighbors-dog-barked-at-me-and-scared-me, overly litigious, self-serving, money-hungry society, I'm sure the LAST thing on her mind was "Hey, here's a great way for me to make a sh*tload of cash!"

Yahoo does

I'm sure that this woman is not the first person who has had an ex-boyfriend/husband/lover post nude pictures of them on the net.

And she won't be the last to sue over them either.

People like this woman should take responsibility for their own actions. You make nude photos of yourself then sorry, if they get posted somewhere its only your own fault and nobody else.

Hopefully that will be listened to when this goes to court. Nobody forced her to take naked photos, so it goes to show what kind of person yahoo is dealing with. No scruples, and no right to sue.

Now the evil ex-boyfriend should certainly be punished, but I wholeheartedly agree with you on one point:
Never take nude photos, and they will never come back to bite you in the ass.

Profiles blocked.

Yahoo just blocked the URL of the profile, you can still access them by appending a NUL ;)

He's probably earning $3 mil in a federal lockup. Too bad, of course, inmates won't actually pay him for the blowjobs he's giving :D

Who's the idiot who marked this as troll?

[Travoltus]

Are you the guy that posted these pics? I hope you rot in prison.
