That someone would finally receive a prison term like this was inevitable . California slip by its retaliation porn law last October , after the trend had hit a tipping point of sorts . Multiple websites — namely , Is Anyone Up — to host revenge porn had attracted national press attention . Is Anyone Upeventually shut downandreportedly faced an FBI investigation . Victimseven banded togetherin a heroic attack to seek justice for what was then a totally destructive yet totally legal attempt . ( Revenge pornremains legal in many states . )

The timing of the 36 - class - sometime ’s sentencing is specially curious since it arrived on the same day the Supreme Courtheard its first - ever vitrine about destitute talking to and social mass medium . That case is more loosely about harassment and threats online , but revenge porn could be implicated in the opinion . We wo n’t know for certain until sometime next yr .
