George Zimmerman, professional asshole
A seemingly angry George Zimmerman took to Twitter today to send out nude photos and the phone number of a woman he claims is his now ex-girlfriend. He said, “She cheated on me with a dirty Muslim.” He also provided her name and phone number.
Not only was he suspended from Twitter for sending out the photos, Jenny Kutner at Mic.com makes the case that he seems to have violated Florida law:
Neither the images nor the woman's contact information appear to have been posted consensually, likely making the tweets a violation of Florida's sexual cyberharassment law, which Gov. Rick Scott signed earlier this year. Florida is one of 17 states to enact legislation regarding the posting of nude images without consent within the past several years, according to Reuters.Part of a nationwide effort to curb "revenge porn" online, the law makes it a misdemeanor to post or transmit nude photos that include subjects' identifying information without their consent. The crime is punishable by up to one year in prison.
