Maurice Washington is about to learn a valuable lesson after a relationship with a woman went sour and he decided to lash out in the worst way.
The Nebraska running back likely thought the sending of an old homemade porn that he wasn’t in or didn’t record would allow him to escape punishment, but he soon found out how wrong he was.
A star football player from the Bay Area, now playing running back for the University of Nebraska, faces criminal charges under California’s relatively new “revenge porn” law in connection to a video of a 15-year-old Bay Area teen allegedly being sexually assaulted, according to court records obtained by NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit.
San Jose native Maurice Washington III did not record the video and is not part of the alleged assault involving his ex-girlfriend and two former classmates. But Washington is accused of keeping the video on his phone and sending it to the victim last March, along with the message, “Remember this hoe [sic].”
Washington, who dated the victim during his freshman year at The King’s Academy High School in Sunnyvale, is being charged under the “Revenge Porn” law because he’s accused of sending the video to inflict emotional damage on the victim. Because the victim was 15 when the video was recorded, he’s also being charged with distribution of child pornography, a felony.
Having a video of then 15-year-old girl is bad enough, but to purposely try and inflict emotional damage on someone by exposing a sexual encounter deserves a punishment to the fullest extent of the law.
