Kevin Bollaert , 27 , of San Diego , was charged with 31 felony counts of conspiracy , identity theft and extortion , the state attorney general 's office said in a written statement . Court documents allege that in December 2012 Bollaert created the website ugotposted.com , which allowed for the posting of sexually explicit photographs of people without their permission . `` This website published intimate photos of unsuspecting victims and turned their public humiliation and betrayal into a commodity with the potential to devastate lives , '' Attorney General Kamala D. Harris said . The sexually explicit material , primarily of women , was routinely posted by angry former boyfriends and ex-husbands , authorities said . As part of the public posting , the website required the full name of the person , location , age and Facebook profile link be provided , according to the documents . Bollaert then allegedly created a second website , changemyreputation.com , that charged up to $ 350 to remove the content , the documents said . Authorities allege he made tens of thousands of dollars through the website . Bollaert was being held at the San Diego County jail in lieu of $ 50,000 bail .
