Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

I have never personally known anyone who had nude photos taken by a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband/sex buddy etc. who didn't wind up with them exposed, mostly out of spite or revenge.....and I've actually known quite a few....it's inevitable somehow....

I'm glad I saw this. I was seriously thinking about doing the same thing after recently being jilted myself. It's hard when you feel like you've done everything good for a person and you feel like you've been defenslessly stabbed in the back. You want to get back at that person anyway you can. It's a natural reaction to at least think about it, though it doesn't really sound like this guy did.

There has to be more to this story.
You can not be jailed for sending or posting nude photos of an adult that has freely posed for. There is NO law against it.
I bet he was jailed for breaking into her computer. That is all they can get him on.

Oh come on! This woman had no reasonable expectation of privacy! Sending compromising pictures of yourself to someone (in her case quite a few someone's) you don't know is just asking for trouble. Jail time for him? Ridiculous!!!

No doubt he broke a law when he broke into her computer like a hacker. Sending out her pictures is not against a law probably since she sent them to him...a total stranger...LOL
He should have used the library computer...LOL

It's a pretty dumb move to email nude photos of yourself to ANYONE. Once the photos are out there, you have no control over what can and most likely will be done with them. If you are stupid enough to send them out to someone, like this lady was, you get what you deserve.

Bill,
You say that they cannot be jailed for sending nude pictures.. There is no law.
I agree about the breaking into the computer which caused this to go online but do you live in the UK because unless you do... Do you really know the laws in the UK?
Course they get away with every other sex act in the UK so this is a bit bizarre
