Kevin Bollaert ruined the lives of many, many women, and he did it on purpose—the 28-year-old San Diego man ran a website that published stolen, naked photos and then charged victims to take them down. This week, he was found guilty of 27 felony charges.

Bollaert's website, UGotPosted, was basically the same porno enterprise as the notorious Is Anyone Up? by Hunter Moore—take nude photos from angry ex-boyfriends, and make them public. The images were published along with Facebook contact information, the location of the victim, and other personally identifiable details. Naturally, UGotPosted also offered a $350 takedown option, essentially extorting victims into erasing their own naked pictures from the internet—it was a shame mill. Of course, these pictures had likely already been downloaded and spread elsewhere, so the $350 ransom was only so helpful.

Emails obtained by the FBI from the UGotPosted Gmail account show several victims (out of thousands) who'd written in, pleading for Bollaert to remove their images. Some say they were underaged:

When interviewed by FBI agents, Bollaert admitted plainly that what he was doing was wrong:

"Yeah, like I realize this is not a good situation. I feel bad about the whole thing and like I just don't want to do it anymore. I mean I know a lot of people are getting screwed over like on the site. Like their lives are getting ruined."

Now he's like facing a 20 year prison sentence.
