Reporter she has more than 3,000 photos online, charming images of craft projects and innocent pictures of herself but two weeks ago the married mother of two young kids woke up to find that her perfectly pg pics were used in a very xrated way. I was unfewer rated and angry that people would think that person was me. Reporter some of the totally innocent photos had been taken and posted on a porn site next to very graphic images of what she says is someone elses body along with a list of sex acts she supposedly enjoys. Thats not all, her name and the city she lives in and link to her Facebook Page were there, too. She started getting bombarded with messages from strange men. Youre pretty, those pictures were really interesting, i would like to get to know you more and some good considerably more graphic. Reporter then the second shock, she says when she went to the website to demand the pictures were removed she was led to another site with a striking offer. Pay 400 to get the photos taken down. She called that cyberextortion. Really . Like i would pay somebody 400. I mean who knows what they would have done with my credit card information . Reporter experts say it could happen to anyone and evenevent s like this are more common than ever.

Its embarrassing theyve seen the photo of me and know what i look like topless because of that site. Reporter kayla says she was hacked but what she didnt know at that time was that she was just another in a long embarrassed line of women who had become victims. In kaylas case they picked the wrong victim with the right mom. It. Was extremely difficult for the whole family, not just my daughter that was vic titimized was the family, it impacts everybody. Reporter shes been called the Erin Brockovich of revenge porn. She was frustrate tld were not more legal protections. California enactsed one of the first laws in the nation.

Its difficult to get any type of civil suits to be initiated against these perpetrators because that costs a lot of money and often does bring more publicity to the images.
