A New Jersey woman accused of some hardcore trolling might face hard time after posting nude photos of her ex-boyfriend on the Internet.
Erica Capasso, 26, was arrested at her Howell Township workplace Friday following a 7-month investigation by the Ocean County prosecutor’s high tech crimes unit.
In a statement, prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato said that Capasso had posted nude photos of her ex on the Internet, along with racially charged, threatening remarks “in order to intimidate her former boyfriend.”
Although it was not labeled by prosecutors as such, the case resembles others in a criminal trend dubbed “revenge porn,” in which perpetrators post explicit photographs without the consent of the person in the image, who are usually female and ex-lovers of the suspect.
A law that seeks to fight revenge porn recently passed in California, building on a 2004 invasion of privacy law in New Jersey that was aimed at voyeurs.
Capasso faces one count of third-degree invasion of privacy and one count of second-degree bias crimes.
She is being held on $15,000 bail.
