Tampa woman awarded $600,000 in revenge porn case

Melissa Berry sat in court as her lawyers showed naked pictures of her to a jury.

“It hasn’t been fun. This is something I have to relive quite often,” she said.

A jury found that Mark Dawson, her ex-boyfriend, put them on the Internet back in 2008.

The award could be the largest in state history in a “revenge porn” case.

He also sent them to her own mother, Janette Vogel.

“I called Melissa to find out what was going on,” said Vogel “She told me he had taken pictures of her.”

Dawson didn’t even show to defend himself from Berry’s pain and suffering lawsuit.

Berry explained that in 2008, she was embarking on a modeling career when she and Dawson broke off an intimate relationship.

He showed pictures to her friends.

When she took his phone, he demanded that her mother give him $500 or he’d post them online.

When she refused, he followed through and sent them to her mother.
