JOHNS — In a tearful statement, Carol Boak said today that she was raised "with all the right boundaries" until she met Kenneth Thelen, who "opened up a world I had never been a part of."Then 29th Circuit Court Judge Michelle Rick ordered her to spend at least 12 years in prison for child porn. Johns, pleaded guilty in February to three felony charges related to child pornography.

At a hearing in December, Thelen pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to produce child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography.Several state tort laws, such as invasion of privacy, false light portrayal, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, could be used to combat revenge porn.Contract law may also provide a remedy through breach-of-implied-agreement claims or the collateral doctrine of promissory estoppel.Naidoo adds that the man also violated the Films and Publications Act, which strictly prohibits the circulation and distribution of child pornography.Meanwhile, the 15-year-old Free State girl’s life has been “turned upside down” after the sex video was widely distributed via the cellphone app. “I went to visit my boyfriend after school and I was still in my school uniform,” she said.There are a number of interconnected issues: the way protestor violence and looting has obscured legitimate opposition to the proposal; the structural violence of an unresponsive, non-delivering government; and the low regard that most parties have for the law and due process.Obviously, all criminal acts committed during the last two weeks should be deplored.The demarcation process is recurring and predictable.There’s a five-year cycle that must be concluded in time for the two major electoral events in South Africa: the national/provincial election followed by the municipal elections two years later.And once those images reach the Internet, they are often circulated widely; the victims retain no control over who may view or share them.This Article explores the types of laws that victims could use to seek justice, and it identifies relevant hurdles to relief.The ease of access to the Internet, coupled with the modern practice of sharing intimate digital photos between lovers, has given rise to a disturbing new trend known colloquially as “revenge porn”—that is, the nonconsensual posting of images that were originally given to another with the implied expectation of confidentiality.That act involves a deep personal betrayal and can inflict serious emotional damage on the person whose image has been shared, sometimes resulting in grave consequences to the victim."The conduct that you engaged in involving two children is heinous conduct.It turns my stomach."In addition to serving at least 12 years for child pornography, Boak will serve concurrent sentences of 16 to 48 months for possessing the material and 4 to 7 years for distributing it.
