Calfornia Attorney General Kamala Harris is seeking a Governor’s warrant for Meyering’s extradition to California. Meyering faces five felony counts of extortion.

"This behavior is the very definition of predatory and this website made a game out of humiliating victims for profit," Harris said in a statement. "These actions at their core are about one individual exploiting the privacy and trust of others for financial gain. We will continue to investigate and prosecute those who participate in these deplorable and illegal activities."

According to court documents, Meyering operated the website WinByState.com, a site where anonymous users post nude and explicity photos of individuals without their consent. The investigation into the site began when a Northern California hacking victim discovered photos of herself on the site, according to court documents.

Investigators paid to have the photo removed, and later traced the funds to Meyering’s bank account in Tulsa. The Attorney General’s office is working with GoDaddy.com to suspend the website.
