Invasion of Privacy

Hollie Toups

According to an article called, "Hollie Toups Leads Women In Revenge Porn Class Action Lawsuit Against Texxxan.com, GoDaddy," published by Meredith Bennett-Smith in The Huffington Post, there is a new website that allows males to post private nude pictures of their ex-girlfriends as "revenge." Also, these pictures are linked to the women's personal information, like their Facebook pages. However, these females are now aware of this website, due to strangers approaching and confronting them about their pictures.  Therefore, Texan women are now taking the initiative to sue the man who owns Texxxan.com, for posting pictures of them without any sort of permission or consent. From these group of women, Hollie Toups has signed a lawsuit not only against the porn site, but also the host GoDaddy. When Hollie Toups discovered her photos, she began to panic. She quickly demanded the site to delete her pictures; but they responded by stating they needed her credit card information first. This is a scam that numerous porn sites use on their viewers. The attorney, John Morgan, of the Texan women has sworn to sue the operators of Texxxan.com. Presently, a variety of lawyers are dealing with cases similar to this, "with other potential claims including invasion of privacy and emotional distress."
