US man gets jail for posting nude photos

A Maryland man has been sentenced to 2 to five years in prison for posting nude photos of his ex-wife on the internet.

Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown says Thomas Gillen pleaded guilty to identity theft and criminal contempt.

He admitted that he created an internet account in his ex-wife's name and used it to contact men and engage in racy conversations.

Gillen also sent them nude photos of her and posted some online.

Gillen was arrested on similar charges in 2006 and was sentenced to five years' probation.
