Texas Woman Awarded $1.2 Billion in Revenge-Porn Verdict Against Vindictive Ex

A Texas woman, identified as D.L., has been awarded $1.2 billion in a revenge-porn lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, Margues Jamal Jackson. D.L. accused Jackson of posting intimate pictures of her on social media and adult websites with the intent to embarrass and harass her. The lawsuit also alleged that Jackson sent links to D.L.'s friends and family, tapped into her mother's home security system, and threatened to ruin her reputation. While it is unlikely that the large settlement will be recovered, D.L.'s attorney hopes the verdict raises awareness about revenge porn and deters others from engaging in such activities.
