Oops! Nude photo intended for girlfriend went to her mom instead

July 26, 2010 | 21 comments

Note to all you lovebirds out there:

If you decide to send a risqué picture of yourself to your girlfriend, make sure she doesn't share her cell phone with her mother first.

An 18-year-old Glendale man got in trouble last week after he sent a nude picture of himself to his 17-year-old girlfriend in Brookfield.

The problem is, the girl shares her phone with her mother, who was the one who first saw the picture.

Brookfield cops cited the man for disorderly conduct.

  1. :( Idiot stick!
  2. goodmoto -- I'm sorry, but what do you mean by "way to set a responsible example, mom?" How was mom NOT being responsible? It wasn't her photo - or one sent to her. It may have been over the top to call the police, but we don't know the background here. Maybe there have been other incidents with the guy. Maybe mom has tried many times to curb what she saw as inappropriate behavior and this was the last straw? Maybe mom didn't know the pic was of her daughter's boyfriend. Maybe she'd never met the guy. Maybe his face wasn't in the pic. We don't know. If I received a lewed photo via text and had no clue who it came from, I might be tempted to call the police.
  3. Almost every state has a disorderly conduct law that makes it a crime to be drunk in public, to "disturb the peace", or to loiter in certain areas. Many types of obnoxious or unruly conduct may fit the definition of disorderly conduct, as such statutes are often used as "catch-all" crimes. Police may use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when a person is behaving in a disruptive manner, but presents no serious public danger.

    Gotta be honest, this doesn't rise to the legal definition of disorderly conduct. This guy would be wise to sue the PD for false charges. Also, he would be wise to sue the mother for disseminating pornography as well as privacy violations under the cyber crimes act for intentionally intercepting an electronic communication intended for a different party.

    Why are tax dollars being wasted prosecuting this? Learn to parent, don't rely on the police to do it.

    (PS, mom... you should check out the pics that SHE likely sent HIM!)
  4. And how - pray tell - does anyone know for sure that the macabre missive was not in fact originally intended for the mom rather than her daughter? A point to ponder! ;)
  5. Might get trown out for "lack of evidence" :K)
  6. Mom liked it! ;)
  7. I know a case where the kid was charged with a "sex crime" by doing the same thing, at age 16. Girlfriend was 15, I believe. Ages make a difference. Young people, who aren't reading this new article, should be warned by their parents that this type of action can have serious repercussions for the rest of their lives. If they get a record where they go onto the sex offender registry, or get a criminal record displayed on CCAP, they will not be able to get a job, admission to a college. It used to be that an incident like this was handled by the parents involved without the involvement of the police. Once the police are involved, the handling and charges can be all over the board. This can start a lifelong downward spiral. Don't do it, even if a "joke." Parents, consider the ages of the kids, their intent and your options to deal out consequences without getting police involved. It can ruin a young life, and kids this age don't have fully informed judgement.
  8. How about this: Don't use tax dollars to have the police do you're parenting for you. Way to set a responsible example, mom.
  9. Trump noted: *shaking head* it's the dumbing down of the masses...
  10. if this is going to make the news (which is stupid), i'll try to trump it by asking, "WHY ISN'T THERE A PIC TO GO WITH THIS STORY?"
