A man who posted thousands of sexually explicit photos of victims on a "revenge porn" website has been jailed for 18 years.
Kevin Bollaert, 28, was convicted in February of running a website that hosted more than 10,000 explicit photographs.
Bollaert's website - ugotposted.com - was launched in December 2012, enabling photos to be posted without the subject's permission.
Bollaert, of San Diego, ran a parallel site - changemyreputation.com - that then charged individuals up to $350 (£235) each to remove the pictures.
Unlike other revenge porn websites, where photos are anonymous, ugotposted.com required the poster to include full details of the subject.
These included their full name, location, age and Facebook profile link, with an option to include the phone number too. Full story...
