Alleged revenge porn site operator heads to trial
Source: AP-Excite
SAN DIEGO (AP) A San Diego judge determined prosecutors have enough evidence against the alleged operator of a revenge porn site for him to face trial on conspiracy, identity theft and extortion charges, a state spokesman said Monday.
Kevin Christopher Bollaert, 27, appeared before San Diego County Superior Court Judge David M. Gill on Monday and returns to court July 16 for what's being heralded as the first case against a revenge porn site operator, said Nicholas Pacilio, a spokesman for California Attorney General Kamala Harris. Bollaert has pleaded not guilty to 31 felony counts.
His attorney Alexander Landon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Authorities say the Bollaert earned tens of thousands dollars operating two websites for the scheme.
