PITTSBURGH —

Moon Township police tell Channel 11 News they have arrested a suspect under the “revenge porn” law.

According to police, 32-year-old Jeremy Sherbondy allegedly sent nude photos of himself and his ex-girlfriend to his ex’s new boyfriend.

“He started sending the new boyfriend explicit pictures via text message of him and her together,” said Moon Township police Capt. Greg Seamon.

Police say that’s a crime under a new law that prosecutes anyone who posts nude photos online or sends text messages with the intent to harass.

Police say this is the first such application of the new law in Moon Township.

“With advances of text messaging, social media, things like that — the law is adapting ,” Seamon said.

Investigators said Sherbondy and the woman ended their eight-year relationship a few weeks ago.

Investigators said Sherbondy was charged earlier this week with stalking, trespassing and harassment.

Police say Sherbondy put an app on the woman’s phone that enabled him to find and confront her at a Robinson Township furniture store.
