we all end up on the web

FORT WORTH (CBS 11 NEWS) – Sexy pictures, taken for private purposes, are finding their way online.

The website, described as a revenge porn site, is posting explicit photos submitted by men seeking revenge on their ex-girlfriends.

But a group of Texas women may get the last laugh, after filing a lawsuit against the site.

Hollie Toups, 32, says she “stopped breathing for awhile” when she found semi-nude pictures of herself on the site.  Toups went from being a modest teacher’s aide in Beaumont to an unintended porn star, after an ex-boyfriend posted explicit photos along with personal information.

“I was at a store one day and somebody was like hey you’re the girl from that website,” says Toups.

Toups and 25 other women are suing the website and its owner, who has a fictitious address in Richardson.
