A
bartender from North Carolina has been awarded $3.2 million to a woman who
alleged her ex-husband and his girlfriend posted intimate photos of her
online. The woman filed suit against the two after they allegedly posted the
topless photos of her and spread false information, including that she had an
eating disorder. The judgment is believed to be the first of its kind to reach
a jury verdict in the state of North Carolina.
