There's something else about the Weigel story.The person in this particular case (Michael Weigel) made a plea deal, had two felony charges dropped and received a stayed sentence on the third that would drop from felony to misdemeanor after doing the other parts of the sentence. As far as I can tell, the case never went to trial and the privacy issues around the case were never litigated. The guy in question was a total mess for many other reasons and after sentencing was repeatedly brought back to court for probation violations. The person in question also made a statement to police that the photos were already on the internet, but I could not find anything to say if what he had asserted was found to be true or false.
I dont think the privacy issues have been litigated much in Minnesota, but I generally think it would be a bad defense to use in court and would only be used if nothing better were available.
This is from a much better article on twincities.com:

He shared these images on the public Facebook page of her new bf. What an absolute piece of shit.

I agree.
Here's my problem: I don't get to the same place from Aaron sharing an image with Geno. This goes to the distinction between the felony, which requires harassment and harm, and the misdemeanor.
Am I wrong?

Knowing him, he'd probably claim they were at their 1:30am quantum physics lessons.He was on coke on stream at 2am. Of course theyre in the premise. Or is he implying he sent them to the woods at midnight first?![]()
(I do love how this thread has come up with so many joke activities that Nick has to drive his kids to and from. I should compile them all into a list).
