Man Sued For Posting Ex's Nude Pics On The Web

The Internets. It can be an amazing place full of joy and wonder, but it can also be a dark place. One man is learning the price you play when you mess with that dark side. He's been sued by an ex-girlfriend after he posted nude photos of her on the explicit website Ex Girlfriend Pictures, a website that proclaims its content as, "submitted photos of nude ex-girlfriends and former wives" (and a site we're not going to link here because we'll be damned if we're responsible for anyone getting fired, but if you know how to use Google...). The two - Jessica Voth and Miles Marsh - dated for two-and-a-half years starting in the fall of 2003 when both were students at Lake Forest College. During that time, it seems Marsh, according to the lawsuit [via the Trib], "after continued and repeated requests by Marsh, [Voth] begrudgingly allowed [Marsh] to take intimate and personal photographs of [Voth]."

Lo and behold, nothing lasts forever and the two broke up but Marsh promised he would destroy the offending material. In August 2007, Voth confronted Marsh about the photos, suspecting he didn't destroy them as promised; he said he hadn't but he'd keep them private. Little did Voth know, in October 2006, Marsh had already posted them to the World Wide Web. Over Thanksgiving last year, an old high school friend of Voth's called to tell her he had spotted the photos on the internet (via another friend who had allegedly stumbled across them). Long story short, when Voth found out the photos were posted for anyone and everyone to see, she understandably freaked out. Marsh has been charged with "Invasion of Privacy" and "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress."
