Philly Man Posted Illegally Obtained Nude Photos Online: PA AG

PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia man who was previously convicted of posting videos he took of college students showering on the internet has been accused of sending himself nude photos of other victims, authorities said.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said Tyler J. Jones, 33, sent himself nude photos of five victims then posted the photos online.

Jones was charged Monday with dozens of offenses, including felony counts of unlawful use of a computer and unlawful duplication, and misdemeanor invasion of privacy and unlawful dissemination.

According to authorities, Jones gained access to the victims' phones or phones of a partner.

Jones was previously convicted of secretly recording college students in a bathroom, then posting videos online. He pleaded guilty to criminal use of a communication device and invasion of privacy.

"This is another example of cruel and despicable behavior by a repeat offender who continues to weaponize modern technology to expose victims online," Sunday said. "This criminal conduct traumatizes victims by impacting their careers, personal relationships, and almost every other aspect of their lives."

The Office of Attorney General accepted the case on a referral from the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, and subsequent investigation led to charges being filed this week by the Philadelphia Police Department.

The current case will be prosecuted by Deputy Attorney General Madelyn Abry.
