The defendant:
Posted naked pictures of Adriana Batch, who was then his girlfriend, on his Twitter account, and also sent those pictures to Ms. Batch’s employer and sister.
Defendant was charged with (1) aggravated harassment; (2) dissemination of “unlawful surveillance images”; and (3) public display of offensive sexual material.
