MIAMI (AP) — A Miami Beach man has been charged in a revenge porn case that authorities say may not have been possible if the victim had not been underage when many images were taken.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said Thursday that 38-year-old Antonio Giansante is facing six charges, including child pornography and cyber stalking. Giansante was jailed without bail and court records did not show he had a lawyer to speak on his behalf.
Investigators say after his relationship with the victim ended, Giansante allegedly tried to post explicit images of her on her work website and other sites on the Internet.
Rundle says such cases are difficult because Florida does not have a law against revenge porn. Giansante was charged because in many images the victim was under 18.
