A plea hearing and sentencing date have been set for a man police say posted a video of him having sex with a woman on a pornographic web site without the woman’s permission.

Police say 23-year-old Grant Draper texted the alleged victim numerous times with harassing and vulgar messages. One of the messages contained a link which showed a picture of Draper and the alleged victim engaged in a sex act which had been posted to a pornographic web site. Draper and the woman are the only people who had access to the video, and the woman never gave permission for it to be posted to the web site. Some of the other text messages Draper allegedly sent to the woman referenced the distribution of pornographic material.

The phone number Draper used to send the text was linked to an app called Hushed, which allows users to buy temporary phone numbers. Two numbers found on the app were linked to Draper.

Draper and the woman had been involved in a previous romantic relationship, which included the two living together within the last year.  A no-contact order had been in place at the time the text messages were sent.

Draper is charged with 1st Degree Harassment and Violating a No-Contact Order. If convicted, he faces a maximum of two years in prison.

On Thursday Judge Jason Burns set a plea hearing and sentencing date for November 14th.
