Personally, I've only sent videos that I've intended. Typos, sure that's understandable as autocorrect can be a true bastard at the worst moments; after reading the article, something about the situation makes me wonder if he intentionally sent this video and was hoping for a different response after she received his wank video. It's hard to accidentally send lewd content to another person if you are being diligent about checking if you've selected the right recipient (always verify the receiver before sending lewd content). Good for the City Attorney for calling this man out on this alleged mistake.
But then it goes into the other problem. They just had a conversation about a cop killing himself, then he immediately though to send her that.
This to me is an unhinged situation to begin with...People do weird things when turned on by the idea of doing something they perhaps should not. Discussion of a cop committing suicide might have not been strong enough to overcome a possible desire to send the video, that is merely a guess. There's nothing that I could do to prove it, as this is merely a gut feeling of mine based on the information. I still feel that if you intend to send lewd media of self or others, confirming who will be receiving it is something that you verify first. As it leads to fewer problems in life.
Or bad on her if it was an obvious mistake. Publicly outing someone for a lewd text you accidentally get is kind of a Karen move. It'd be a pretty dumb thing to intentionally send to someone you weren't 100% sure was going to want it. It's not something a couple dumb 20 year olds working at Target would do. You don't hand an attorney keys to blackmail you on purpose.
