The woman sitting across from Jennifer Lopez was on a one-way road heading toward state prison. A native of Chester County who had accrued three arrests for petty crimes over the years, the woman had been in and out of the county’s criminal justice system over and over again.

A Philadelphia man who disseminated intimate images, via emails and a blog, of a married Upper Dublin woman he met online, has been ordered by a judge to “cease and desist” his conduct and he’s placed under court supervision.
