After being subjected for months to cyber-sexual harassment and threats by an ex-boyfriend, former Pittsburgh news anchor Darieth Chisolm made it her life’s work to wage war against the types of cyber crimes that often produce “no form of justice” for victims.
In a Jamaican courthouse this week, she herself got some.
Ms. Chisolm, a longtime on-air personality at WPXI, won a protracted two-year legal battle Monday in a revenge porn case against her ex-boyfriend, 53-year-old Donovan Anthony Powell of Kingston, Jamaica. Powell pleaded guilty in St. Andrew and Kingston Parish Court to three counts of malicious communications, admitting to creating a website with explicit photos and videos of Ms. Chisolm, and using the content to harass her. Ms. Chisolm, 50, said in an interview Tuesday that she first met Powell in the 1980s, when she was 19. In the summer of 2015, the two rekindled their relationship, and by the end of the year she had moved to Jamaica to live with him.
