Cell Phones + Nude Photos = Trouble
How many people don’t realize this yet? Clearly most of America and here is the latest example:
Phillip and Tina Sherman say Phillip left his cell phone at the McDonald’s July 5. Phillip rang the store to be told that the phone had been found, and had been secured for his collection. What employees shortly discovered though was that Tina Sherman had been sending nude photographs of herself to her husband, and this is where the story takes a turn into legal terrority.
Shortly after confirming the store had the phone, Tina Sherman began receiving offensive calls and text messages about the pictures, then learned her pictures had been posted online along with her name, address and phone number.
The Sherman’s have filed suit against McDonald’s, the franchise owner and the store manager for $3 million dollars. They are seeking a jury trial to compensate them for emotional distress, embarrassment, damage to their reputations, loss of wages and the cost of moving to a new home.
McDonald’s has not commented on the situation.
