Man who shared revenge porn of ex online ordered to pay her $1.2 billion

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.”

She might get a few bucks from his bankruptcy estate.

Does that make her a paid porn star? Are there laws about that in Texas?

Well, what he did was classless. Just hold that stuff against the property settlement, and use it in court if you have to (unlikely, if other parties are involved). Send it out like spam, well, that isn't gentlemanly.

My thoughts exactly. If they are going to award 1.2 billion, then why not make it 1.2 trillion? Since both amounts are absurd.
I wonder where the ".2" came from? As if 1 billion simply wasn't enough. LOL
Just another example that the American Judicial System has become a clown show. Run by and presided over by clowns.

What the heck ever happened to people just splitting up and going their separate ways. :shrug: No stalking, shooting or revenge porn.
