KINGSTON, Jamaica – The man who allegedly operated a website which published unauthorized nude photographs of hundreds of Jamaican women will appear in court today.

Ronald Oates, 27, has been charged with unauthorized access, unauthorized obstruction, unlawfully making available data for the commission of an offence and obscene publication under the Cyber crime Act.

Oates will also answer to charges of extortion and conspiracy to extort under the Larceny Act.

Computers, cell phones, photographs and pornographic videos were among the items found at Oates’ house when arrested last week Monday.
