By Patrick Sullivan | Aug. 18, 2017
A 36-year-old Traverse City man faces felony charges for allegedly posting naked pictures of his ex-girlfriend online.
Nicholas Anthony Battista II was arrested Wednesday on a warrant for unlawful posting of a message, using a computer to commit a crime, and possession of marijuana.
Police in Portland, Maine asked Grand Traverse Sheriff’s Office detectives for help in June. A woman in Portland filed a complaint about naked pictures posted online without her consent. She suspected Battista, her former boyfriend, was responsible.
Detectives got a search warrant for Battista’s East Bay Township home, where electronics were seized. Authorities also confiscated 35 grams of marijuana from the residence.
