A woman is accused of harassing her ex-boyfriend by sending nude photos of him to his bosses and creating a fake Facebook page using those images, Minnesota police say.
Police in St. Louis Park, a suburb of Minneapolis, first learned of the accusations in June. The ex-boyfriend told officers his 34-year-old ex-girlfriend sent “sexually explicit photos” of him to his supervisors, police said in the court records filed on Monday, Jan 9.
Those images, according to the probable cause affidavit, were originally sent by his current girlfriend to his ex-girlfriend “to make her jealous”.
When the ex-girlfriend sent the photos, which showed the man’s genitals, she accused her ex of being gay and having a partner who was transgender.
“I wanted to thank you for the employment and wanted to let everyone know I like transgenders and I am gay. Thank you,” the email to the ex-boyfriend’s boss said, the affidavit shows.
Police said the email was sent as a ruse to make the man’s bosses believe he was the sender.
The woman is also accused of creating a Facebook page with the name “skanker cheatin”, including the same naked photos, police said.
On June 17, two weeks after police first learned of the incidents, officers conducted a search warrant at the woman’s home and took her electronic devices, St. Louis Park police said. She was “highly intoxicated and was extremely derogatory toward the LGBTQ community”, according to the court records.
The electronic devices showed the woman used an encrypted email service used to send the incriminating photos, according to police. She is also accused of paying for access to websites to gain contact and family information for the current girlfriend of the ex.
She was arrested and charged with nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images. – The Charlotte Observer/Tribune News Service
