BAY CITY, MI -- A 22-year-old Bay City woman is facing two felonies due to police alleging she posted a nude photo of another woman on Facebook.

On March 27, a Bay County sheriff's deputy took a call from a 20-year-old Bangor Township woman who claimed Stephanie J. Knapp had harassed her on Facebook by posting a nude photo of her. The deputy told the complainant he would need proof to continue his investigation and provided her with his email address, court records show.

The woman later emailed the deputy screen shots of several Facebook posts published on March 2. One of the shots featured female genitals, court records show.

Other screen shots featured comments from multiple people commenting on the nude photo, allegedly including Knapp admitting she posted the image and had it on her cellphone, court records show.

The complainant told the deputy she had sent the photo to a man and that she believed his ex had forwarded it to other people, court records show. She added she had been friends with Knapp a year prior, but they had a falling out over a man, court records show.

The deputy contacted the man the complainant said she sent the nude image to. He told the deputy his phone had been stolen at a party some time ago and he never recovered it, court records show.

The deputy was unable to locate Knapp, but noted in his report she was wanted at the time on an outstanding warrant. A Bay County judge issued the warrant on July 13 after Knapp failed to pay fines resulting from an October 2014 domestic violence conviction.

Authorities issued a warrant for Knapp related to the Facebook conduct on Thursday, Aug. 22. She voluntarily appeared for her arraignment in Bay County District Court on Thursday, Aug. 29.

Knapp faces single counts of using a computer to commit a crime and unlawful posting of a message. The charges are four- and two-year felonies, respectively.

The arraigning judge released Knapp on a personal recognizance bond. She also owes $580 in fines related to her domestic violence conviction.

Knapp is to appear for a preliminary examination before District Judge Timothy J. Kelly at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Facebook prohibits posting nude photos.

"We remove photographs of people displaying genitals or focusing in on fully exposed buttocks," Facebook's Community Standards states. "We also restrict some images of female breasts if they include the nipple, but we always allow photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures. Restrictions on the display of both nudity and sexual activity also apply to digitally created content unless the content is posted for educational, humorous, or satirical purposes. Explicit images of sexual intercourse are prohibited. Descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail may also be removed."

Unlawfully posting a message is defined as:

A person shall not post a message through the use of any medium of communication, including the internet or a computer, computer program, computer system, or computer network, or other electronic medium of communication, without the victim's consent, if all of the following apply:

The person knows or has reason to know that posting the message could cause two or more separate, noncontinuous acts of unconsented contact with the victim.

Posting the message is intended to cause conduct that would make the victim feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or molested.
