Rochester Man Charged With Revenge Porn
Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) – A Rochester man is facing charges in a revenge porn case.
A case filed in Olmsted County Court Wednesday accuses 30-year-old Matthew Ranfranz of putting sexual videos and photos of his ex-girlfriend on Facebook without her permission.
According to the criminal complaint, the woman was contacted last November by a person who said he had received an X-rated video of her on his Facebook account that came from Ranfranz. She reported the incident to police and told an investigator she had sent Ranfranz “photos and videos that were sexual in nature “ while they were dating. The woman said after they broke up, Ranfranz had threatened to send the videos and photos to “friends and family. “
The criminal complaint says Ranfranz admitted sending the videos and photos. He told the investigator he did so “in hope that he was going to get back at her.”
Ranfranz has been ordered to make his first court appearance in August.
