In case you needed another reason not to photograph your junk and then distribute those photos to other people, Rep. Steve Stivers' (R-Ohio) chief of staff resigned on Tuesday after an adult film actress tweeted an explicit photo of him.
The aide, Adam Kuhn, said in a statement to Politico that he was "the victim of an attack on Twitter from a woman I had a relationship with in my personal life." The attack: Jennifer Roubenes Allbaugh, aka "Ruby," posted a photo of Kuhn's penis on Stivers' Twitter account, though she later deleted the image once Kuhn got a cease-and-desist order.
Nine states have laws against revenge porn, according to the National Conference of State Legislators. Ohio is not one of them.
