Revenge porn purveyor Hunter Moore is sentenced to prison

By Abby Ohlheiser December 3 at 2:18 PM

Hunter Moore, the man who created an infamous revenge porn site, was sentenced to more than two years in prison on Wednesday, according to the City News Service.

Moore was known as “the most hated man on the Internet” for creating IsAnyoneUp.com, where he publicly posted nude or compromising photos, uploaded by angry exes seeking revenge. His victims — the subjects of the photographs, who did not consent to having the photos posted online — were often identified by name, alongside their social media and contact information.

U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee sentenced Moore to 2 ½ years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. While in jail, Moore must undergo a mental health evaluation. He also owes a $2,000 fine.

Moore faced a statutory maximum sentence of seven years, and a mandatory minimum of two years, the Department of Justice said.
