AP — A woman is suing her Special Forces major ex-husband, saying he posted online nude pictures she sent him privately when he was away because he didn't like paying child support. The revenge porn lawsuit says the former husband posted his wife's intimate pictures on Craigslist saying she had sexually transmitted diseases and asking for people to contact her for sexual favors.
