He had known "for years" that it had been "a traumatic experience".

They blocked me immediately," he said, adding, "Every dollar I had earned so far was spent cleaning it all up and getting it off the internet.
"I didn't realize until years later that I was a victim of this situation," she continued, describing how she felt completely "helpless" throughout the process, even going so far as to attempt to commit suicide.
"A lot of girls killed themselves because of that. I tried to get over it," she said, revealing that she was blackmailed because of being nudity. "It's something that has weighed on me for years."
Looking ahead, Madison says she's convinced social media can prevent others from going through the same thing. “I hope the internet now protects a 14 or 15 year old girl who this happened to,” she continued.
