Stormy Daniels lawyer sues fraternity for allegedly sharing nude photos of women
The attorney representing adult-film star Stormy Daniels in her ongoing defamation suit against President Trump and his lawyer, Michael Cohen, on Thursday filed a separate suit on behalf of a college student who he says had sexual videos of her distributed illegally by a fraternity.
Michael Avenatti filed a lawsuit on behalf of a female student at the University of Central Florida.
The suit alleges that the student’s ex-boyfriend Brandon Simpson, a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, posted sexual images and videos of her on a secret Facebook page run by the fraternity called “The Dog Pound.”

The lawsuit, which also names the fraternity and the university as defendants, alleges that more than 200 members of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity received access in some form to the illegal pictures and videos, while not acting to stop Simpson or telling him to delete the posts.
Other young women also had compromising images and videos of themselves posted on the page without their knowledge or consent, according to Avenatti’s court filing.
“The Delta Sigma Phi fraternity and others have been illegally posting naked videos of innocent young women on a secret Facebook page called the ‘Dog Pound.’ Here is the lawsuit we just filed to end this disgusting behavior,” Avenatti wrote in a tweet Thursday afternoon announcing the suit.

Avenatti is currently representing Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in her defamation case against the president and his lawyer, who she alleges tarnished her reputation by denying a 2006 affair she says she had with Trump.
Daniels is also seeking to nullify a $130,000 nondisclosure agreement that she and Cohen signed just weeks before the 2016 election.
