Pennsylvania restaurateur charged over alleged sharing of ex-girlfriend’s intimate photos
Pennsylvania restaurateur Alessandro Fiorello, 29, has been charged after his former girlfriend alleged he copied intimate photos from her phone while she was asleep and later sent them to her new boyfriend. The case matters because it involves allegations of sharing private images without consent; the claims have not been established in court.
The woman reported the alleged copying to Conshohocken police in August, and Fiorello was arrested on 2 September. He faces charges including unlawful dissemination of intimate images and invasion of privacy; two harassment counts and one stalking count were dropped at a preliminary hearing. His arraignment is scheduled for 4 November, while his third restaurant is due to open later this month.
