Man Distributes Nude Photos Of Ex-Lover Near School, Faces Revenge Porn Charges

A Louisiana man was arrested and charged with multiple counts of “revenge porn” after he distributed nude photos of his ex-lover. According to local media, Andrew R. Caufman, 29, of the 3800 block of Victory Drive in Shreveport, was arrested Monday.

A warrant was issued by the Bossier Sheriff’s Office, which included 35 counts of nonconsensual disclosure of a private image, seven counts of obscenity, and one count of unlawful disruption of the operation of a school.

Authorities said Caufman distributed the nude photos last week at the parking lot of a Bossier Parish school where students were present. The Bossier Sheriff’s detectives conducted an investigation into the incident, following which warrants were issued for his arrest.

The U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force conducted the arrest, and Caufman was later transported and booked into the Bossier maximum security facility. He was being held under a $250,000 bail bond.

“Private images should remain private,” a sheriff reportedly said. “The law of ‘revenge porn’ was enacted in 2015 here in Louisiana to address the matter of unlawful and non-consent of the distribution of images that were intended to be private. Keep it private, plain and simple.”
