Here’s the problem: Mo's case is anything but the "standard" boyfriend-girlfriend sexting like is being talked about here. He objectively possessed (at least long enough to forward) a video of his ex girlfriend (allegedly) being sexually assaulted. He clearly knew her thoughts on the video. He then possessed that video (probably for close to 4 years) long enough to use it to revictimize her. That's only the misdemeanor, and you may or may not be right on the revenge porn charge. His felony is for possession, which couldn't be clearer.
Mo screwed up badly by having the video and sending it back. There’s no real debate that he possessed it. Now...is there a prosecutor looking to get a notch on a belt? Sure, they’re looking for a successful prosecution under a new law.
This is going to trial unless he pleads out. And the team is going to have to do something.
