So, I read an article a week or so ago telling me about a revenge porn site and the guy running one of these sites, Hunter Moore.

For those who don't want to read the entire article, the short version is that this guys' a scum bag supreme. His site is a porn site but what makes this one unique is that womens pics are posted there against their will. Sometimes the pics come from a disgruntled ex, but other times they're stolen from a hacked computer or phone and one of them even seems to be from a medical picture (taken after a woman had some kind of surgery). Often, women don't even know the pics are up until it's too late. He includes names, ages and contact information and encourages people to harass the women listed. Yes, he specifically brags about being a "life ruiner."
As much as this infuriated me, I can't really do much about it, so I just put it in the back of my head as another fucked up thing in the world and moved on. Then, last night, I found another article about a revenge porn victim. This one happened to be pictures of a teacher at a Christian school in Cincinnati. The schools response? She's gone. Administrative leave.
