21-year-old Kiya Alexis Townes was taken into custody for three counts of unlawful exposure and harassment on April 18th. On October 2nd, 2023, Townes’s boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend, reported to police that Townes had been posting an old video of her performing oral sex on the ex-boyfriend. The ex-girlfriend notes that her face is clearly identifiable in the video. She added that Townes posted the video in a Facebook comment on her page and shared it multiple times. After executing a search warrant on Townes’s Facebook and Instagram, officers discovered that she shared the video three times on September 30th, 2023, one at 10:33 p.m., another at 10:35 p.m., and then 12:50 a.m. Then, she provided officers with screenshots of messages between her and Townes’s Facebook account, where Townes told her, “I am hurt, so yeah I sent a video out.” She also showed officers screen recordings of Townes harassing her though texts and social media. In one of the threads, she told Townes to stop contacting her and to leave her alone. To which Townes responded, “Fuck you fat ass bitch. Quit texting my bd!” The harassment continued for an extended period of time so officers obtained warrants for Townes’s arrest on March 1st, 2024.
