Girl vents ire on ex-beau’s images on Google

LONDON - A teenage boy’s ex-girlfriend posted “slanderous, defamatory and pornographic” captions on his pictures on the internet search engine Google.

The boy’s mother has sought advice from Google’s webmaster help forum on how to remove the images, the Daily Mail reported.

“My minor son’s ex-girlfriend took a copyrighted picture of him (we own copyright) and uploaded it more than 60 times to a website,” she wrote. “On each image she wrote slanderous, defamatory and pornographic captions.”

“The webmaster of the site states he removed the images six weeks ago, but Google search still shows all the images,” she said.

“My son is so stressed out and embarrassed and we’ve done everything we can to get the images off of Google including URL removal tool, a letter to Google Legal with all the URLs because of copyright infringement, and nothing has worked!”

Using a picture of Jack Weppler, his former partner has pasted his image all over the search engine with messages such as “I can’t read”, claiming unfashionable rocker Kenny Loggins “is my saviour” and he’s working in the gym “on my two pack”.

He comes in for further ridicule with an assessment of his fashion sense: “V-necks. Mom jeans” and the camp avowal “This diva needs his stage”, alongside dozens of others which are not fit to print, the daily said.

A Google spokeswoman said: “We crawl, index and rank millions of web pages everyday, to make content discoverable and searchable for users online.

“To get content removed, users should go to the source, and contact the webmaster or owner of the site where that content appears. They can also file a removal request with Google at: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals.”
