‘Revenge Porn’ Defendant Sentenced to 18 Years
A San Diego man convicted of identity theft and extortion after posting more than 10,000 sexually explicit photos of women to his so-called “revenge porn” website was sentenced on Friday to 18 years behind bars.
The sentencing of Kevin Bollaert ended an all-day hearing where a number of victims told of the humiliation inflicted by his website. Bollaert burst into tears as he listened to testimony from his mother and victims.
The sentence was at the high end of the range; Bollaert faced a maximum of 20 years. In explaining his punishment, the judge noted that he stacked the sentencing terms based on the multiple victims.
