Man sent sex pictures of ex-GF to her family - as Christmas cards

[Blue_Tires]

A man has been sentenced to two years probation for sending sexually explicit Christmas cards of his ex-girlfriend to her relatives.
57-year-old David Simmons, of Murfreesboro in Tennessee, was accused of surreptitiously taking pictures of his ex-girlfriend while she performed sex acts on him.

After a bad break up, Simmons sent one of the pictures to the woman's relatives as Christmas cards, the local Daily News Journal newspaper reported.

He pleaded guilty on Wednesday to charges of unlawful photography and criminal impersonation. In exchange for the plea he was given a suspended sentence.

1. I'm pretty sure Murfreesboro

Tennessee is not very happy they made it onto the map with this one.

2. I think this is funny...IF it wasn't done surrpetiously

...because taking the pictures surrpetiously isn't funny...I wonder if she really didn't know about it. I mean, was she doing it blindfolded and she didn't know there was a camera there?

11. It won't be funny until she sues him for emotional cruelty and takes half his shit.

I think taking nudie pictures implies an expectation of privacy (as well as a lack of class). The law is simple, if I don't sign a release for photos taken for commercial purposes or in a private setting, you can't publish them.

He's so self-fucked here. I feel bad for her, but she's got an air tight remedy in the civil court system.

19. I don't know about that....if you know your picture is being taken, you

have given your consent...you could argue she assumed they would be kept private, but if they were in his possession, she gave up rights to them...we're not talking about him making money off the photos.

22. Why are you doubting what you read: SURREPTITIOUSLY?

[dysfunctional press]

24. i also read that it said "accused of"...

that doesn't make it a fact.

[Teaser]

25. there are lots of sex acts...

where she might not be looking in his direction.

3. Sounds like one of those Shoebox Greeting cards nt

[blueamy66]

4. That is hysterical!

:evilgrin:

[av8rdave]

5. It's pretty hard to form an opinion on the story without actually seeing the pictures

[MilesColtrane]

6. What a scumbag.

[redqueen]

7. Wow.

People are calling this funny and asking for pics... and saying that if she knew the pics were taken then it's funny.

Wow.

[hippywife]

21. I'm with you on this.

Anyone who thinks this was funny, whether or not she knew the pics were taken, needs to grow the fuck up. They all need to put themselves in this girl's place and see how they would feel. Consent or not, doesn't give him any right to do what he did. What a piece of shit. And so is anyone who is getting their giggles over this. :mad:

[Gormy Cuss]

28. Lighten up! It's a hoot!

:sarcasm:

It's extraordinarily immature, tasteless, and tacky.

[NewJeffCT]

8. That guy sounds like an a-hole

I'm sure the woman was no angel, but nobody deserves that.

[lukasahero]

14. How do you know she was no angel?

Because she had sex?

[NewJeffCT]

16. on second look

I didn't see that the pictures were taken surreptitiously. I had thought it was consensual photography and the guy got back at her by sending the pics out.

[lukasahero]

17. Ok, so that's cool but

if she had consented to taking the pictures, she'd be suspect? Not virtuous enough to have her privacy respected?

I'm just challenging your thinking because I think you're better than that. Don't we all want to be in a relationship where we can express our sexuality without fear of it being used against us?

[NewJeffCT]

20. that's true

and, no, she would not be "suspect" of anything if she had consented to have the pictures taken. It's not her fault that her ex-boyfriend is a major league asshole.

[dysfunctional press]

26. he was 'accused' of taking the pictures surreptitiously- that doesn't meant they were.

9. "O Come All Ye Faithful..."

Wrong interpretation there, man. :blush:

[Bucky]

10. Criminal phase is boring. Now can we please move on to the civil suit?

The real stuttering will begin when he tries to defend himself from a massive emotional harm judgment.

Note to David Simmons of Murfreesboro, TN: You thought you were going to pwn her, but her lawyers are gonna pwn you.

[raccoon]

12. Which is why I strongly urge that you don't take pictures like that of yourself, or allow others to.

You never know when it will return to haunt you.

Yeah, this dude is a slimeball, but exes can do some bad things, not just keying your car as in the song.

[WinkyDink]

23. "SURREPTITIOUSLY." What IS it with the DU readers here?

[dysfunctional press]

27. maybe they realize that the words "accused of" doesn't necessarily make it so.

:shrug:

[Crabby Appleton]

13. You can't hardly do anything any more without a bunch of whiners

making a federal case out of it

[lukasahero]

15. Some people really need to grow the fuck up

This guy is 57 years old? Could have fooled me.

[hunter]

18. In some families his balls would now be hanging from a nail in the work shed.

And the rest of him would've gone out for a ride.

To the lake.

To visit Earl.

Remember Earl?

Good-bye Earl.
