Wow. I read the article and the guy doing it also did to other women, including the stalker’s own underage relative. Luckily, the sisters were able to get him sent to prison.
But one of the things that really pisses me off is that the ex-boyfriend of one of the sisters sent MORE images to the stalker.
Like, the stalker already had some, and this fuckwad sent him MORE.
And he got off the hook because he said he was sorry and was only doing it to “gain the stalker’s trust”.
Basically, he supposedly didn’t do it out of malice (just overwhelming monumental stupidity…which I don’t believe, I think he just got lucky by saying sorry and by the laws in the books worded in such a way that BAD intent was necessary for it to be a crime). They settled with him in court later on, but the idea that someone could send a stalker nudes of their GF/ex-gf and get out of it by acting like it wasn’t a malicious act but “only trying to help” is infuriating. That loophole definitely needs to be closed.

I think the point is that neither one of them wanted to have their names in the public court record. But because the police originally refused to follow up on it, they weren’t able to take him to court as Jane Doe. They had to enter their names in the public record, which only makes it more likely that things like this will pop up again when their name is googled.
So the article is basically an attempt to point out how fucked that is, (and attempting to get ahead of those negative search results) and part of that is probably minimizing the amount of actual imagery used.
But also… Did you go to the article just to look at photos of them?
