A 28-year-old San Diego man was sentenced Friday to 18 years in custody after being convicted of operating a “revenge porn” website that included naked and sexually explicit pictures of women posted by angry ex-boyfriends or ex-husbands.
Kevin Christopher Bollaert, a Web developer, posted the pictures and then charged women from $300 to $350 to have the pictures removed. He was convicted in February of multiple felony counts of identity theft and extortion.
Bollaert was ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution to his victims and a $10,000 fine. Bollaert will be allowed to serve the sentence in a county jail rather than state prison under the judge’s ruling.
Eight women told Superior Court Judge David Gill how they were victimized by having the pictures appear on the website.
