Revenge porn lands Michigan man in Indiana jail

COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) — An 18-year-old Michigan man was arrested and booked into the Bartholomew County Jail after posting intimate images of his ex-girlfriend on a pornographic website.

In March 2024, the Columbus Police Department received a complaint from a 17-year-old Columbus female teenager who said her ex-boyfriend posted intimate images of her on a pornographic website, including her name and home address. She learned about the posting when a stranger contacted her wanting more images. She recognized the images as ones she had previously shared with her former boyfriend.

The case was referred to the Bartholomew County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, and was investigated in cooperation with Michigan’s ICAC Task Force. Investigators were granted a search warrant for the pornography site involved. Although the images had been removed shortly after being posted, investigators were able to confirm Jesse J. Price, 18, of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, had uploaded the images.

Price on Tuesday pleaded guilty to five counts of distribution of an intimate image, while a count of child exploitation was dismissed.
