Since he essentially threatened her with harrassment for life I'd say it's a fair trade.
He fucked around and found out.
Is it though?
From what I understand he now just has to live at like the existential minimum. Sure that suck ... but there is plenty of people are already living on that and they didn't do anything. How is that fair?
Also, if he actually just accepts his faith now and only earns enough money to just get by with as little as possible, he couldn't pay anything at all.
What is wrong with prison? I thought you Americans loved putting people on there, why not this guy?
He's also now infamous just like he threatened to make his ex. Every time anyone Googles him, this is what will come up. It is kind of fitting in that way.
As for why not prison, it's hard to put people in jail for something like this. I assume that's the reason why this went to civil court rather than the criminal court.
@theKalash
He posted their private sex photos on Dropbox and sent links to her friends, family and employer.
The hell he deserves anything less than living in poverty for a very long time.
You seriously see nothing wrong with forcing people into poverty as the only punishment when you have actual people living in poverty? How do you not see how fucked up that is?
Like, what if he was already dead poor? What would be the punishment then?
Also, if that really is the only punishemnt ... that basically just means the middle class get 1 free crime before they are downgraded to the lowest poor tier.
@theKalash
You'd rather the state spend millions in tax dollars keeping the guy in jail instead?
You do that for a black kid with a bit of weed, so why the fuck not.
Ohh with the undercover whataboutism. Nice.
The poimt was that the US really isn't picky about imprisoning people, that's all.
