CLIVE, Iowa — A Clive man has been arrested after authorities say he assaulted a woman then sent explicit photos of her on social media. KCCI-TV in Des Moines reports 20-year-old Gemini Smith is charged with assault, robbery, criminal mischief and violation of a no-contact order.
According to the criminal complaint, Smith went to the woman’s house to pick up a sweatshirt he left there. Once he arrived, documents say he pepper-sprayed and punched her. Smith took her phone and fled the scene. Authorities say Smith logged into the victim’s social media accounts and sent explicit photos and videos of her to people without her permission.
Smith is scheduled to be back in court Nov. 25.
