A​ Parkville man who created a fictitious website and posted compromising pictures of a woman he previously dated pled guilty Thursday to a class D felony of non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images.

Platte County Circuit Court Judge James Van Amburg placed Andrew Snyder, 41, on probation for five years and ordered him to complete 100 hours of community service. Snyder was represented by attorney Scott Campbell of Platte City.

Judge: Parkville must be more specific in ‘discovery’

Hearing set Aug. 7 in Sunshine lawsuit

According to court documents, police received a complaint regarding paper advertisements and banners being circulated in a Northland neighborhood on Sept. 15, 2018. The paper advertisement featured a woman’s personal information, including her name, home address, husband’s name and license plate number. The flyer implied that the victim would engage in sexual services in exchange for money and listed a website address adding, “I’ll do what your wife won’t.”

The website listed on the fraudulent paper advertisement displayed private sexual images of the victim. When police issued a subpoena against GoDaddy, the tech company used to create the fraudulent website, they discovered the account was created and paid for by Snyder with the intent to harass, states court documents.

When police contacted the female victim she confirmed Andrew Snyder was the guy behind the fraudulent website and paper advertisements. She told police she lived with Snyder for about six months while separated from her husband. When she reconciled her relationship with her husband and ended things with Snyder, he allegedly threatened to destroy her life.

The victim told police the private sexual images featured on the website were taken professionally, but she did not give Snyder permission to use those private pictures. The photos were kept on a disk which was allegedly taken by Snyder.

Court documents reveal that police have received half a dozen additional reports of Snyder harassing the victim. In one of the instances, the victim’s mother discovered a fraudulent paper advertisement with her own information being passed around in her neighborhood. Similar paper advertisements were also distributed in a parking lot in Lenexa, where the victim’s husband works.

Earlier this year, Snyder also pled guilty to disturbing the peace for driving his pickup truck through the victim’s yard and breaking her cell phone. According to court documents, Snyder threw the cell phone against a wall, causing it to shatter and strike the victim’s head.
