TOLEDO -- Two pornography websites posting nude pictures of women without their consent have been shutdown thanks to the efforts of a Toledo lawyer.

According to France Law Group, LLC., Attorney Kyle Bristow represented clients who had been victimized by these "revenge porn" websites, xxxpose.me and girlsxxxposed.com.

The law firm says revenge porn is a recent phenomenon in which pornographers post nude images of women that have been acquired through illicit means, like text messages. Contact information is also posted alongside the photos, resulting in unwanted Facebook messages, emails and phone calls from strangers.

The websites also subject their targets to an increased risk of rape, France Law Group reports.

"The revenge pornographer made the right decision in quickly and voluntarily shutting down his websites," Attorney Bristow said. "I was prepared to go to great lengths in seeing the situation through to a just and moral conclusion, but the tortfeasor smartly decided to do things the easy way rather than the hard way by ending his online reign of terror."

To avoid becoming a victim of revenge porn, Bristow advises women to avoid texting nude photos to anyone. He also recommends that victims of revenge porn contact a lawyer.
