Think about the intent behind posting the pic(s) rather than the pic(s) themselves. To dismiss someone's possible hurt/shame/embarrassment based on *your* sense of what bothers you and what doesn't, or what you class as porn or not, and so on and so on, isn't the way to look at it.
The guy obviously wanted to hurt this woman, and instead of doing it physically chose to do it mentally. And as everyone knows, physical injuries don't even come close to emotional ones. What if he hit her? beat her up? deserving of a year in jail for that? Again, this isn't about how *you* would be impacted if someone did this to you. How would you feel if it was your mother, your daughter, and knew how much it would affect her, if she were that way?
To brush this off as something about nothing because it's 'just' a titty pic is to ignore a wise piece of advice that has been around a while:
Never belittle anyone's experience - they had it.
Apply that to both 'good' and 'bad' experiences, and maybe you'll understand why the guy got a year in jail. Swap her pics for whatever *your* personal interpretation of what would cause you humiliation, embarrassment, betrayal, etc. and see how you'd feel if some guy who wasn't affected the same way by your particular personal emotions manifest came along and said "a year, for
that?"
