Tri-Cities Man Accused of Posting Explicit Photos of Girlfriend Online

TRI-CITIES, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say a Franklin County man has been arrested on suspicion of posting sexually explicit images of his girlfriend on her social media accounts.

The Tri-City Herald reports that police and members of the Tri-City Regional SWAT Team arrested the 29-year-old suspect Wednesday. He faces charges of extortion.

Police say the suspect recorded a sexual encounter between him and his 37-year-old girlfriend, who was unaware she was being filmed.

Police say he uploaded a sexually explicit image from the video to several of the woman's social media accounts and then demanded money from her to take the image down.
