Sabeghi’s complaint says in part: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>…Defendant Uu came through the police line and confronted plaintiff, cursing at him, and then struck him repeatedly with a club, driving him towards the west sidewalk in front of the police line. Although plaintiff did not resist or fight back and was not physically aggressive in any way, Uu continued to beat him and Uu, Patterson, and other officers tackled him at or near the curb with unnecessary and excessive force, piling on top of him and violently twisting his arms. Plaintiff suffered a lacerated spleen, as well as cuts and bruises. There was no justification for the use of force on plaintiff. Defendant Sgt. Gonzalez and other superiors failed to adequately supervise Ofcr. Uu and other officers, failed to intervene, and approved and condoned the officers’ unlawful conduct against plaintiff.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A joint case management statement issued in March reported “it is anticipated that defendants do not dispute that Officer Uu used excessive force on plaintiff in violation of the Fourth Amendment, or the extent of plaintiff’s injury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabeghi also filed a state lawsuit against Alameda County over his treatment after he was taken to jail, an action that’s still pending. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the San Francisco Chronicle’s Bob Egelko \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Occupy-protester-s-suit-charges-abuse-4068497.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported the second lawsuit \u003c/a>when it was filed last year: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After Kayvan Sabeghi was arrested and jailed in November 2011, sheriff’s deputies ignored his complaints even as he lay on the floor vomiting, unable to move and begging for help, his lawyers said in a suit filed in Alameda County Superior Court last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers “acted with deliberate indifference to a serious medical need” and worsened Sabeghi’s injuries, the suit said. It seeks compensation and punitive damages against the county and Corizon, its medical contractor for the jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabeghi, 33, of Oakland, a businessman who was an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan, said he had taken part in a nonviolent Occupy Oakland protest on Nov. 2, 2011, and was trying to walk home when he was stopped by police. One officer was videotaped repeatedly hitting him with a nightstick. He was arrested on suspicion of remaining at the scene of a riot but was never charged, his lawyers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Glenn Dyer Jail in downtown Oakland, the suit said, deputies initially refused to examine Sabeghi or take him to a doctor. One officer saw him lying on the floor throwing up and told him to stop using heroin, and another deputy recorded his sufferings on video to humiliate him, the suit said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_24698963/oakland-settles-iraq-war-veteran-beaten-at-occupy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Tribune’s Matthew Artz says\u003c/a> of this week’s unanimous City Council settlement: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The settlement with Kayvan Sabeghi, who suffered a ruptured spleen, is the largest awarded so far to anyone injured during a string of Occupy Oakland protests in late 2011 and early 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, the city agreed to pay $1.17 million to resolve 12 Occupy-related claims — including that of Scott Campbell, who filmed a police officer shooting him in the leg with a lead beanbag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabeghi, who co-owned a brewpub in El Cerrito at the time of the attack, could not be reached for comment late Tuesday.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here’s a video of the Nov. 3, 2011, incident shot by artist Neil Rivas, posted by The Guardian:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- Start of guardian embedded video -->\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- To autoplay video, set 'a=true' in the following line of code-->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://embedded-video.guardianapps.co.uk/?a=false&u=/world/video/2011/nov/18/occupy-oakland-veteran-beaten-police-video\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"613\" height=\"500\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- End of guardian embedded video -->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Correction:\u003c/strong> This post has been corrected to note that Occupy Oakland protester Scott Olsen was struck in the head with a police bean-bag projectile, not a tear-gas canister. The post has also been corrected to note that the suit being settled by the city of Oakland was brought by Kayvan Sabeghi against Oakland police officers alleged to have participated in his beating and detention in the wake of an Occupy Oakland protest in November 2011. A second lawsuit is still pending against Alameda County concerning allegations about Sabeghi’s treatment while he was detained in a county jail. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Olsen’s legal action against the city is still pending. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabeghi’s federal suit, filed in November 2012 and amended last January, alleged he was beaten by Oakland police Officer Frank Uu and illegally detained in the hours after the Occupy Oakland general strike in November 2011. Sabeghi’s complaint says in part: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>…Defendant Uu came through the police line and confronted plaintiff, cursing at him, and then struck him repeatedly with a club, driving him towards the west sidewalk in front of the police line. Although plaintiff did not resist or fight back and was not physically aggressive in any way, Uu continued to beat him and Uu, Patterson, and other officers tackled him at or near the curb with unnecessary and excessive force, piling on top of him and violently twisting his arms. Plaintiff suffered a lacerated spleen, as well as cuts and bruises. There was no justification for the use of force on plaintiff. Defendant Sgt. Gonzalez and other superiors failed to adequately supervise Ofcr. Uu and other officers, failed to intervene, and approved and condoned the officers’ unlawful conduct against plaintiff.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A joint case management statement issued in March reported “it is anticipated that defendants do not dispute that Officer Uu used excessive force on plaintiff in violation of the Fourth Amendment, or the extent of plaintiff’s injury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The post has also been corrected to note that the suit being settled by the city of Oakland was brought by Kayvan Sabeghi against Oakland police officers alleged to have participated in his beating and detention in the wake of an Occupy Oakland protest in November 2011. A second lawsuit is still pending against Alameda County concerning allegations about Sabeghi’s treatment while he was detained in a county jail. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Online predators that profit from the extortion of private photos will be investigated and prosecuted for this reprehensible and illegal internet activity.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bollaert could face prison time and fines if convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s charges are just the latest in a series of legal entanglements for Bollaert and YouGotPosted. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/dec/11/tp-revenge-porn-charges-are-filed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Union-Tribune reports\u003c/a>: “In an unrelated federal case, he is charged with making false statements — giving a false home address — while acquiring 31 firearms from different gun dealers in San Diego. He entered a guilty plea in November and is to be sentenced Jan. 17.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the company was sued twice in federal court — once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/McGibney-v-IsAnyoneUp.net-Eric-S-Chanson-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nevada\u003c/a>, once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/Lindsay%20Middleton%20%20Complaint%20-%20Filed%20Version.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michigan\u003c/a> — over \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/04/05/revenge-porn-yougotposted-held-in-contempt-lose-case-to-bullyville/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trademark\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/05/03/revenge-porn-site-yougotposted-sued-again/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright\u003c/a> infringement claims. In the Nevada case, YouGotPosted failed to respond to trademark allegations, then was held in contempt and hit with a $300,000 default judgment. The suits named both Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a New Jersey man described as Bollaert’s partner in setting up the alleged YouGotPosted extortion scheme, and Chanson’s parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press_releases/Arrest%20warrant_0.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An affidavit\u003c/a> in support of today’s arrest warrant from state Department of Justice special agent Brian Cardwell describes how YouGotPosted works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When a user (poster) of Ugotposted posts images to the site, the site requires the poster to add a link identifying the posted individual’s (victim’s) Facebook page along with the victim’s full name, location, and age. Ugotposted also allows for other types of social media links to be added, such as Twitter and Tumblr. Ugotposted allows Internet users to access the website, post comments about the victims, which most are degrading, and view the victims’ posted personal identifiable information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And this, according to the warrant, is how the alleged extortion scheme operated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bollaert extorted money from victims that were posted on Ugotposted by directing the victims to the website changemyreputation.com and asking for money to removed the images from Ugotposted. There is evidence that shows Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a former business partner of Bollaert, created the websites. When a victim inquired about removing the images from Ugotposted, they would not receive a response; however, Ugotposted hosted a link to the webpage changemyreputation.com and for a fee, the images would be removed from Ugotposted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cardwell’s affidavit also recounts a Sept. 18, 2013, interview with Bollaert held in the community of La Jolla, in northern San Diego:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>He stated that he owned Ugotposted and that he had recently shut the site down. Bollaert stated he and his friend Eric Chanson started the site and Chanson has not had any action with the site since December. Bollaert stated, “At the beginning, it was fun and entertaining, but now it’s just like ruining my life.” … I asked Bollaert did he understand what it was doing to the people being posted on by requiring the full name, residing city, and link to the person’s Facebook page. Bollaert stated, “Yeah, I realize like this is not a good situation. I feel bad about the whole thing and like I just don’t want to do it anymore. I mean I know a lot of people are getting screwed over like on the site. Like their lives are getting ruined.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The site’s impact can be judged from the experience of 14 “Jane Doe” victims listed in Cardwell’s affidavits. The victims, all women, all reportedly told investigators of nonstop harassment that followed their pictures appearing on YouGotPosted. The affidavit also includes emails to YouGotPosted from those begging, or demanding, to have images removed. Here’s one:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… This website is an absolute disgrace. It makes me sick to my stomach you run this as your little family business. I had pictures posted as of last night … I demand that you delete them now. I have gone to the police, I’ve had a restraining order put in place because of this site, my phone has been going off EVERY TWO MINUTES with strange men sending inappropriate things to me. It’s disgusting. … I don’t know what gets you off about ruining people’s lives, but I was under aged in the photos posted of me so yes, you are showing child pornography. Delete every single one of the photos with my information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/dec/11/tp-revenge-porn-charges-are-filed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Union-Tribune reports\u003c/a>: “In an unrelated federal case, he is charged with making false statements — giving a false home address — while acquiring 31 firearms from different gun dealers in San Diego. He entered a guilty plea in November and is to be sentenced Jan. 17.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the company was sued twice in federal court — once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/McGibney-v-IsAnyoneUp.net-Eric-S-Chanson-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nevada\u003c/a>, once in \u003ca href=\"http://bv.1110.cds.contentcolo.net/uploads/files/Lindsay%20Middleton%20%20Complaint%20-%20Filed%20Version.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michigan\u003c/a> — over \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/04/05/revenge-porn-yougotposted-held-in-contempt-lose-case-to-bullyville/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trademark\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://adamsteinbaugh.com/2013/05/03/revenge-porn-site-yougotposted-sued-again/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright\u003c/a> infringement claims. In the Nevada case, YouGotPosted failed to respond to trademark allegations, then was held in contempt and hit with a $300,000 default judgment. The suits named both Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a New Jersey man described as Bollaert’s partner in setting up the alleged YouGotPosted extortion scheme, and Chanson’s parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press_releases/Arrest%20warrant_0.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An affidavit\u003c/a> in support of today’s arrest warrant from state Department of Justice special agent Brian Cardwell describes how YouGotPosted works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When a user (poster) of Ugotposted posts images to the site, the site requires the poster to add a link identifying the posted individual’s (victim’s) Facebook page along with the victim’s full name, location, and age. Ugotposted also allows for other types of social media links to be added, such as Twitter and Tumblr. Ugotposted allows Internet users to access the website, post comments about the victims, which most are degrading, and view the victims’ posted personal identifiable information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And this, according to the warrant, is how the alleged extortion scheme operated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bollaert extorted money from victims that were posted on Ugotposted by directing the victims to the website changemyreputation.com and asking for money to removed the images from Ugotposted. There is evidence that shows Bollaert and Eric Chanson, a former business partner of Bollaert, created the websites. When a victim inquired about removing the images from Ugotposted, they would not receive a response; however, Ugotposted hosted a link to the webpage changemyreputation.com and for a fee, the images would be removed from Ugotposted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cardwell’s affidavit also recounts a Sept. 18, 2013, interview with Bollaert held in the community of La Jolla, in northern San Diego:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>He stated that he owned Ugotposted and that he had recently shut the site down. Bollaert stated he and his friend Eric Chanson started the site and Chanson has not had any action with the site since December. Bollaert stated, “At the beginning, it was fun and entertaining, but now it’s just like ruining my life.” … I asked Bollaert did he understand what it was doing to the people being posted on by requiring the full name, residing city, and link to the person’s Facebook page. Bollaert stated, “Yeah, I realize like this is not a good situation. I feel bad about the whole thing and like I just don’t want to do it anymore. I mean I know a lot of people are getting screwed over like on the site. Like their lives are getting ruined.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The site’s impact can be judged from the experience of 14 “Jane Doe” victims listed in Cardwell’s affidavits. The victims, all women, all reportedly told investigators of nonstop harassment that followed their pictures appearing on YouGotPosted. The affidavit also includes emails to YouGotPosted from those begging, or demanding, to have images removed. Here’s one:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… This website is an absolute disgrace. It makes me sick to my stomach you run this as your little family business. I had pictures posted as of last night … I demand that you delete them now. I have gone to the police, I’ve had a restraining order put in place because of this site, my phone has been going off EVERY TWO MINUTES with strange men sending inappropriate things to me. It’s disgusting. … I don’t know what gets you off about ruining people’s lives, but I was under aged in the photos posted of me so yes, you are showing child pornography. Delete every single one of the photos with my information.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
