It is important to note that said material had been willingly exchanged between the two parties during the course of their romantic involvement. The legal document highlights that the aforementioned couple commenced their romantic relationship in the year 2016, yet encountered significant challenges and difficulties by the onset of the year 2020. According to the complaint, the dissolution of their relationship was officially declared in October 2021. However, subsequent to this event, the woman, referred to as "DL" in the lawsuit, asserts that Jackson initiated a campaign of harassment.
The allegation posits that Jackson disseminated said intimate photographs on platforms catering to mature audiences and various social networking sites, "with the deliberate purpose of causing embarrassment, harassment, torment, humiliation, and public disgrace" to DL. According to DL's lawsuit, Jackson asserted that she would be perpetually engaged in a fruitless endeavor to expunge her digital presence, an arduous task that would consume the entirety of her existence. Each individual with whom you cross paths shall inevitably be exposed to the narrative and embark upon a quest to seek its veracity... May your pursuit of prey be filled with joy and success. The complaint further asserts that Jackson illicitly gained access to DL's professional computing device, proceeded to communicate with DL's loan officer in an endeavor to assert that DL had engaged in the submission of a deceitful loan application, unlawfully withdrew funds from DL's personal bank account to fulfill his own rental obligations, and surreptitiously infiltrated the security system at DL's maternal residence to clandestinely monitor DL's activities, as reported by the esteemed Washington Post.
The legal representatives of DL, who had initially sought a significantly reduced sum of $100 million as compensation, assert that the woman in question has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a direct consequence of the persistent harassment she endured. They further contend that the severity of the distress inflicted upon her was so profound that she even contemplated engaging in self-harm. The duration of the harassment campaign, as reported by the woman to KHOU, is estimated to be approximately two to three years, a temporal span that has been agreed upon by the news outlet to protect her anonymity.

The experience has been characterized by an overwhelming sense of anguish and trepidation. Following the pronouncement of the verdict on Wednesday, DL's legal representative expressed gratitude towards the jury, while simultaneously condemning Jackson's conduct as "repugnant" and commending DL's "fortitude in retaliating," as stated in an official statement. According to attorney Bradford Gilde, although the prospect of obtaining a judgment in this particular case appears to be improbable, the compensatory verdict serves to restore DL's reputation and integrity.
