Oh, snaps. One man is seeing genitals on the internet — and they’re his own privates — after a Florida woman posted the photos on social media, according to police.
In a complaint affidavit filed by the Pasco County police and published by The Smoking Gun, Breyanna Helen Dean of Port Richey allegedly “maliciously posted pictures of the victim’s genitals across multiple social media platforms in direct messages.” Per law enforcement, the 24-year-old got her hands on the man’s phone, and thus, access to his social media accounts and the ability to send the private photos.
From there, she allegedly “changed the passwords to the victim’s social media, preventing the victim from being able to deactivate the accounts.” But it didn’t stop there. Police say Dean then demanded her victim, who was not identified, pay her to stop what she was doing.
“Her actions directly exposed the victim to disgrace,” according to the complaint affidavit. Law enforcement also noted that there was evidence in the form of screenshots she sent to the man of social media posts she hadn’t published yet.
“Based on the above, probable cause exists for extortion,” the affidavit concluded.
Dean was arrested on April 27 and charged with extortion. According to Newsweek, she posted a $10,000 bond and was released the same day.
Per Pasco County Clerk’s online records, Dean also faced a felony battery or domestic battery by strangulation charge in August 2015 that was later dropped; was found guilty in January 2018 of disorderly conduct; and had a six-month cyberstalking injunction against her in July 2018.
