Women who fell prey to the ‘king of revenge porn’ talk about their trauma in new Netflix documentary

Women who fell prey to the self-proclaimed ‘king of revenge porn’ have described the trauma of discovering their naked photos and videos on his pornographic website in a new Netflix documentary.

The most hated man on the internet is a three-part series about Hunter Moore, founder of revenge porn site IsAnyoneUp.com, and a determined mother’s struggle to take him down.

Moore, now 36, launched the now-defunct website in 2010, allowing rejected lovers to anonymously post sexually explicit images of their past flames without their consent.

‘Me and my friends would post’ [photos of] a bunch of girls, and I was like, “Yo, I can make money off f****n’ people,” he explains in the archive footage in the trailer.

The docuseries features interviews with the women and men who were shocked to discover their nude photos and videos on IsAnyoneUp.com.

One woman says she got 200 notifications after her image was unknowingly posted to the site. Another recalls how she begged Moore to delete her images because she said she has a family and a little boy.

“The answer I got was ‘LOL,'” she claims.

There are also key interviews with Charlotte Laws and her daughter Kayla, who was 24 when her topless photos were stolen from her computer in 2012 by an anonymous hacker and posted to the shabby website.

“I was topless there. Multiple photos,” she recalls. “I felt violated.”

Kayla had taken the photos in front of her bedroom mirror and saved them to her laptop, with no intention of sharing them publicly.

The footage was accessed remotely by a stranger and uploaded to Moore’s site. For Charlotte, this led to a two-year battle to bring the man responsible to justice.

“He came after my daughter,” she says in the trailer.

“It had to be knocked down,” Kayla agrees.

Moore shows little remorse when asked if he’s ever felt so sorry for someone that he knocks something down.

‘No. It’s just too much fun,” he boasts in the archive footage.

“I don’t know why all these people, you know, hate me,” he adds. “I’m just making money from your nude photos.”

Charlotte shared how she tracked down Moore in an interview with Post on Sunday which was published earlier this month.

The mother, who worked as a detective for an insurance company, received little help from the police because there were no laws against sharing these types of images at the time.

A search revealed that the photos had been posted to IsAnyoneUp.com, which Moore was working anonymously at the time.

But it was his bravado that finally betrayed him, and it wasn’t long before Charlotte found his real name. She learned that he set up his website from the basement of his parents’ home in Woodland, California.

“He was bragging all over the internet. This bastard was in his parents’ basement and discovered he could work with a computer hacker to steal pictures of innocent girls and make money,” she says.

Charlotte thinks Kayla’s photos may have been used because she was Facebook friends with another girl whose intimate photos were posted on the site.

When she got Moore’s name, she found a phone number and called the address, but the person who answered hung up repeatedly.

Undeterred, Charlotte and her lawyer husband sent a series of “stop and stop” letters to Moore, but they only seemed to encourage him.

“He laughed at us,” she recalls. “He replied to a legal letter with a picture of his penis.”

As Moore attracted more attention, his fame grew. He had 600,000 Twitter followers and claimed that his website had 350,000 subscribers with 30 million page views per month, earning him a salary equivalent to $360,000.

“He became something of a celebrity and organized parties where he worked as a DJ. So I went undercover in disguise to get him papers,” says Charlotte. I was trying to find someone who would take my case. But no one was there.

“I went online, went public about who this man was and what he had done to my family. Meanwhile, this slimeball gave magazine interviews and was portrayed as a hero.

“At first Kayla and my husband begged me not to get involved. They said he was dangerous and I couldn’t win. But I was determined to take him down.’

Charlotte’s investigation took a sinister turn when she received death threats. Meanwhile, Kayla was harassed and called a “slut” for taking the photos.

However, other victims began contacting her, which helped her supplement her evidence against Moore.

The mother got her big break in 2014 when the FBI began investigating the hacking of celebrity nudes, including images of Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence.

Charlotte urged the FBI for help until she was put in touch with a detective, but the investigation dragged on for two years.

In 2014, the FBI finally had enough to charge Moore with aggravated identity theft and complicity in unauthorized access to a computer. They shut down his website, raided his parents’ house and confiscated his computers.

Moore pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. He was released in 2017 and is believed to be living in his parents’ home again.

A co-conspirator was also jailed for hacking into Kayla’s computer.

The Mail on Sunday has repeatedly tried to contact Moore, but he did not respond. He has also refused to collaborate with filmmakers.
