Man who shared revenge porn of ex online ordered to pay her $1.2 billionBy Isabel Keane

A Texas woman whose ex-boyfriend shared intimate photos of her online — including some taken from her mother’s home security cameras — was awarded a $1.2 billion settlement after a Houston-area jury ruled she was the victim of revenge porn.
The woman, who went by Jane Doe or D.L. in court documents, filed a lawsuit in April 2022 against her former boyfriend, Marques Jamal Jackson.
In the suit, she claims that Jackson disseminated explicit images of her across the internet — and created a website to house all of the images that he later sent to her friends, family and co-workers.
Jackson posted the intimate images of the woman, obtained while they were dating, onto social media and pornography websites “with the intent to embarrass, harass, torment, humiliate, and publicly shame” her, according to the lawsuit.
In March 2022, Jackson reportedly sent D.L. a message saying: “You will spend the rest of your life trying and failing to wipe yourself off the internet. Everyone you ever meet will hear the story and go looking.”
