A Maryland Mayor has been charged with 50 counts of distributing revenge porn.
Mayor Andrew Bradshaw has been charged with 50 counts of revenge porn after he uploaded pornographic images of a woman he was formerly in an intimate relationship with.
The women contacted authorities after she discovered naked pictures of herself were uploaded to Reddit.
Bradshaw has yet to publicly resign from his duties and when his lawyer was asked for a comment regarding Bradshaw’s charges he was silent.

The New York Post had more on the story:
The mayor of a Maryland city was arrested Monday and charged with distributing revenge porn for allegedly posting nude photos of an ex-girlfriend on the internet, prosecutors said.
Andrew Bradshaw, the mayor of Cambridge, is accused of circulating the images on Reddit without the woman’s consent in April and May, according to the Office of the State Prosecutor.
The pictures were captioned with racial slurs and vulgar language, authorities said.
The 32-year-old elected official allegedly distributed the photos using several different Reddit accounts he created using variations of the victim’s name and birthdate.
The woman discovered the images in May and contacted the authorities — saying Bradshaw was the only recipient of the photos and she sent them when they were in a romantic relationship.

CNN covered the story too:
The mayor of Cambridge, Maryland, was arrested and charged with 50 counts of distributing revenge porn, according to a news release from the Maryland Office of the State Prosecutor.
Court records state Andrew Bradshaw, who took office this past January, was arrested on Monday and had his first court appearance on the charges.
The complaint, provided by the state prosecutor’s office, alleges that a victim contacted law enforcement in May and said she saw nude photographs of herself on Reddit, which she said were posted without her consent.
If convicted, Bradshaw faces up to two years in jail and up to $5,000 in fines for each charge.
The state of Maryland has had a lot of corruption happening lately.
Two months ago a Maryland judge barricaded himself in his house and killed himself after federal agents discovered he allegedly sexually abused boys.
