Good for her -- nobody is judgment proof.
A former law student in California has obtained a $6.45 million default judgment against a former boyfriend accused of posting her intimate photos after their breakup. The woman, identified as “Jane Doe” in the case, was awarded $3 million in compensatory damages, $3 million in punitive damages and $450,000 for copyright infringement, report Law360 and CNN. U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez of Los Angeles entered the judgment on April 4 when he signed a proposed default judgment against the defendant, David K. Elam II, according to K&L Gates. Its lawyers represented Doe for free.
Elam had posted sexually explicit photographs and videos of Doe on the internet, and sent links to the material to her mother and a law school classmate, according to the default judgment. Elam impersonated Doe on dating and porn websites, resulting in unwanted texts from strange men who believed Doe to be interested “in indiscriminate sexual relations,” the document said. Elam continued his conduct after Doe obtained a restraining order requiring him to remove the material from the internet and to stop impersonating Doe, the judgment said. Besides awarding damages, Gutierrez also required Elam to destroy the photos and videos. Doe had initially sent the sexually explicit materials to Elam at his request after he moved to Virginia and she remained in California. She later registered the material with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to obtain the copyrights.
