Please someone tell what the hell that charge is?

I'm going to take a guess based on her facebook and say she likely published nude photographs of the now-absent sperm donor who impregnated her when he broke up with her

You and your girlfriend decide to make a fun little video just for you two to watch later during sexy time. You have a rough break up. She ends up being a crazy bitch, and she posts the video up on pornhub for all the world to see and sends the link to all your friends and family and professional contacts in the hope that it ruins your reputation. That is revenge porn.

Typically when I have heard about it it is more common for women to be the victim because there is a bigger market for women in porn and women are probably more likely to suffer a damaged reputation from this kind of thing. It's also possible that the video gets posted without the person who didn't get consent ever finding out about it until years later when it's spread across the intetnet.

The obvious solution is to not distribute photo or video evidence of yourself in compromising positions, but it's still shitty.
