Patrons Harassing Models...
Added 2018-09-24 16:18:20 +0000 UTCWell, for the fourth time in a year, I have to report a heinous breach of a model’s privacy from a Patreon subscriber. Sometime in the last week, someone who subscribes to my Patreon has taken some of my model's photos, Rachel, created fake accounts and shared those uncensored images with people she knows online, threatened to blackmail her with them to her bosses at her jobs, and more. I’m at a loss.
Because of all this, I have deleted all of her images off the page. Both for her comfort and my own.
My goal with my work is to empower women, to give them a safe space where they can feel comfortable sharing their beauty and expressing themselves creatively. But to once again have my work used against them and have their lives made into a living hell, having them blackmailed and shamed for just living their lives, angers me to no end. I’m livid. I’m perplexed. I’m frankly so disappointed. And since the person doing all this is anonymous, I can’t even direct my anger and intense frustration at anyone in particular. So what am I to do?
All I can say is if your goal being here is to spread negativity and hatred, please leave now. I don’t want you here and don’t need your support. There are plenty of other sites you can ogle women at and act like an asshole with your negative comments. I’ve always prided myself on my fans and supporters being positive, helpful, understanding and caring folks. Have I been wrong all this time? Please leave me your comments below. I will be posting fresh content possibly tomorrow instead of my usual Monday morning because frankly I don’t have the stomach for it right now.

This sucks. I was scouring your posts high and low for your work with Rachel only to find this post. I say this not to complain but to emphasize just how enthralling your work together was, just from the samples I'd seen, so all the more the shame that it had to be hidden from everyone because of the actions of one idiot.

2018-09-26 16:30:43 +0000 UTCNot sure if this is a case of revenge porn, as the harasser is no acquaintance of the victim, but rather a case of harassment or blackmailing, which should be serious offences themselves.

2018-09-26 08:08:29 +0000 UTCmight be worth talking to a lawyer to see if this applies: <a href="https://www.shouselaw.com/revenge-porn.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.shouselaw.com/revenge-porn.html</a>

2018-09-25 18:19:04 +0000 UTCModel's private life and dignity is utmost important. So if this is the only way to ensure it, you have done the right thing Mark. You should go ahead with official complaint ( I don't know how things work in US) and that idiot should pay the price.

2018-09-25 15:22:18 +0000 UTCWhat an idiot! I just registered yesterday and now I can not see the pictures of this pretty girl because of one sick guy pursuing her. Not only me, but we all will not see. It's anger at him, regret for the model and sadness for us. PS. I apologize for the bad English.

2018-09-25 09:08:13 +0000 UTCI agree with Mykal's statement. A formal complaint with the authorities should be filed asap by both you and Rachel. It is a shame, to say the least, and no one should found themselves in this position.

2018-09-25 09:06:37 +0000 UTCI am not a lawyer, but... What this person is doing is a crime. Maybe anonymous to you, but probably not to the FBI (as this is happening over the internet it is for federal authorities, not state.) These are serious threats that should be investigated and, if possible, prosecuted. Please contact your local FBI field office. Not just for you & Rachel, but to stop this asshole from doing this to many others.
