Dispute Over Nude E-Mail Photo Leads To Woman's Jailing
PORTAGE, Ind. (STMW) -- A Portage, Ind., woman scrambled to get her nude self-portrait photograph off the Internet.
Angelica Nicholson thought Facebook wasn't responding fast enough to her request on Thursday, so she called police, telling them she was 17, a minor, trying to make it happen faster.
Instead, she got arrested after police found out she was 18.
Nicholson told police she took the photo in front of a mirror and allowed a male acquaintance to send it to his phone.
Then, a Gary, Ind., woman who is dating the man posted Nicholson's nude photo on her own Facebook page. That started a series of angry text messages between the two women. Nicholson contacted Facebook staff in an attempt to have the picture removed, then called police because she didn't think it was happening fast enough.
An officer learned Nicholson's actual age through Bureau of Motor Vehicle records, while typing up the incident report. Nicholson was arrested for false reporting and is being held in jail awaiting a $500 cash bond.
