Andrew Bradshaw, the mayor of Cambridge, is charged with fifty counts of violating a Maryland law that prohibits distribution of sexually explicit materials without consent, or in a way that is intended to harass.
According to the complaint, Bradshaw distributed sexually explicit images at least 50 times between early April and late May. He allegedly posted the pictures in Reddit forums with titles such as “HumiliatingComments,” “DegradeThisPig,” and “DegradedCaptions.”
Several of the images were accompanied by racist captions.
The woman in the pictures was previously romantically involved with Bradshaw. She told police that she had shared the pictures with Bradshaw, but that he posted to Reddit without her knowledge or consent.
Bradshaw faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 for each count.
