In the summer of 2013, actor and singer Chrissy received a message from one of her fans warning that pornographic videos of her were being distributed online. To her horror, Chrissy discovered that the videos had been online for a year and a half and had been uploaded by a bitter ex-boyfriend. Since then, Chrissy has been fighting for justice and now wants to raise awareness by sharing her story.
