This mofo deserves some jailtime, but the full sentence (18 years???) is ridiculous in my opinion. (prolly parole after 10 years). Rapists/murderers are in society again before him. Just look at that cop that killed that young adult 'Trevor' and he didn't even spend 1 day in jail.
The extortion of these people most likely made the punishment so extreme and the law also wants to make an example for other clone websites like myex,
theporndude,... Kevin knew he was doing something illegal, but once you're raking in tons of easy $$$ ($30.000+) + doing it 'anonymous' online, prolly kept him going.
Even with a nationwide revenge porn law, it will continue to happen, since men share their ex selfies in a state of 'anger', but at least they can be put behind bars now. The damage can't be undone though. Once your pics are out there, there's no way to get them all down.
Prevention in high schools would be a better tactic, I would say. How about warning teenagers about the risks of 'revenge porn' in sex education class?
