Verizon Worker Arrested For Copying Customer's Nude Pictures
An anonymous reader writes "El Reg reports that two employees at a Verizon store in Florida are facing charges after making copies of a woman's naked pictures while helping her transfer data from an old phone to a new one. The two employees later offered to show the pictures to another customer, but the customer happened to be the woman's friend. The woman and her friend filed a police report. The police quickly got a warrant to search the store and found copies of the pictures on multiple devices there. One of the employees, Gregory Lampert, was arrested and charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor. The other employee, Joshua Stuart, is no longer in Florida, but will face charges if he comes back."
Take nekkid pictures of yourself with your phone; leave them on the phone; then ask some dweeb at phone store to copy them over to your new phone???
I'm sorry, but what in the hell did you expect??
I really believe that the time has come when the Courts should be able to say "Because you're an idiot, and brought this on yourself! That's why!"

Hi, I was dumb enough to put nude pictures of myself on a phone, gave it to some teens and asked them to copy it over to another phone.
I dont see anything illegal here.
Do you know who I know you're gay? You know his dick tastes like cheetos.
I had a female friend who accidentally shared naked photos (showing everything) of herself with me (and publicly) on Facebook. She was trying to create an account for only her boyfriend to see, but not being very computer-literate, screwed up the privacy settings and publicly exposed some obviously very private photos. I immediately just politely and discretely informed her that these photos were visible, and how to fix it. For my effort, she immediately decided I was some kind of creep, blocked me, and never spoke to me again. Cow. But at least I did the right thing, I think.
Considering that you're calling her a cow because she stopped talking to you, she did the right thing.

I disagree. If you personally distribute naked pictures of yourself to unintended recipients because you're too stupid to use privacy settings or a sharing method you understand, you have no cause to treat the recipients like creeps for informing you.
Similarly, if someone stops talking to you, you have no cause to call them a cow.
Furthermore, consider that even with only his side of the story, he still comes off creepy: she thought he was a creep, stopped talking to him, so he calls her names... which is the sort of thing a creep would do. Hence, it's just as likely that he was a creep, she stopped talking to him, and he now continues being a creep. So, good for her.
