Matt Gaetz Voted Against (?) Revenge Porn Bill As FL Lawmaker
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) speaks to reporters (screen capture)
Six years later, with the now-congressman accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and sharing photographs of nude women with fellow lawmakers, the sponsor of the Florida legislation says Gaetz opposed it because he believed recipients of such images could use them however they wanted.
Tom Goodson, a Republican who retired from the Florida state House in 2018, told the Orlando Sentinel on Monday that Gaetz was the leading opponent of the nonconsensual pornography bill he spent years trying to pass.
He described a meeting in which Gaetz said that if a person gives an intimate photo to a romantic partner, the image becomes the property of the recipient.
Read the full article here. In related news, Donald Trump dispatched a quick missive today saying reports that Gaetz had sought an all-inclusive blanket pardon from the Donald during his last days in office are inaccurate. It’s important to note that Trump says “Gaetz never asked me for a pardon.” The reporting is that Gaetz “privately asked the White House for blanket pre-emptive pardons.” The Trumpster added, “It must also be remembered that he has totally denied the accusations against him.” 
OnlyFans Performer Pleads Not Guilty To Posting Sex Video Without Consent

Claudino admitted to recording the episode and distributing the images but says he did so with his ex-boyfriend’s consent.
He also told the court he only pleaded guilty because he was advised to do so by solicitor Brett Galloway.
“He said, ‘If you continue to plead not guilty your case will be adjourned to December 2020 or maybe longer to set a new hearing date because of the COVID-19 pandemic’,” said Claudino according to ABC News Australia.
The 32-year-old reportedly felt a guilty plea would speed his return to Brazil so he could care for his mother, who is currently facing cancer.
“I said, ‘I am the only financial support she has had since I was 18 — she is my priority at the moment,'” he said. “If this is the only way out of the situation, I agree to plead guilty.”
Claudino claims he turned to OnlyFans after his breakup (the relationship lasted about five months) as a means to earn the money to travel back home. Without a work visa, he was unable to secure legal employment.

After finding new legal representation, Claudino was apparently informed: “a month’s worth of WhatsApp messages had been deleted from his mobile phone.”
His new lawyer, Alex Maroulis, told ABC News he is working to retrieve a text message chat about OnlyFans between his client and the ex-boyfriend.
Claudino says the missing text messages “would be in the period where the text messages have not been provided by [the alleged victim] or deliberately deleted by [the alleged victim].”
“With [the alleged victim’s] consent, I posted on the website ‘OnlyFans’ sexually explicit material of us and I did not show [his] face in any of the sexually explicit images that I posted on OnlyFans.”
Claudino also referenced a conversation he had with his ex in which he also obtained what he considered ‘verbal consent’ regarding sharing the video clip on OnlyFans.
“He said, ‘If you post any of our sex videos make sure my face does not appear — I will see how it goes for you and how much money you make, and I might join myself to make some money and get out of debt,'” says Claudino.
The alleged victim vehemently denies he gave consent regarding making the video or sharing it publicly.
The Australian ex-boyfriend told ABC News in February he discovered the videos while Claudino was visiting a friend in Melbourne. Apparently, distinctive body tattoos made it evident it was him in the clip.
Those tattoos, which he says he used to display proudly, now “feel like branding. I feel dirty … I lost my identity forever.”
Despite being granted bail in September, Claudino remains incarcerated. His next court appearance is scheduled for next week.

Missouri Governor Taken Into Custody On “Revenge Porn” Allegations

Whoa.
Republican Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens has been taken into custody after being indicted on charges of felony invasion of privacy.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner’s office announced today that a grand jury found probable cause to believe Greitens violated a Missouri statute that makes it a felony if a person transmits the image contained in the photograph or film in a manner that allows access to that image via a computer.
From The St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
On Jan. 10, the Post-Dispatch and other area media reported that Greitens, a first-term Republican elected in 2016, had had an extramarital affair near the start of that campaign, in 2015.
The allegation was put forward by the husband of Greitens’ lover, based on a surreptitious audio recording he made of a conversation with her.
The woman said in the recording that, during a consensual sexual encounter in Greitens’ St. Louis home in which she was bound and partly undressed, Greitens took a photo of her without her consent and threatened her with it.
A former Navy Seal, Greitens won his 2016 election in part by campaigning against “corrupt career politicians.”
Some Republican lawmakers have called for Greitens resignation.
