It looks like a lot of people will be getting revenge for what this dude did to them. He published thousands of nude photos online and charged women $350 to remove them.

Kevin Bollaert, 28, was convicted in February of 21 counts of identity theft and six counts of extortion in San Diego Superior Court for running a pair of websites that capitalized on the internet as a forum for public shaming.
