A Bondurant woman was arrested on a Dallas County warrant Saturday in connection with a June incident in which she allegedly harassed a West Des Moines woman by sharing a nude video of her without her consent.
Yamilett Nichole Rivera Esteves, 26, of 906 Washington Ave., Bondurant, was charged with first-degree harassment.
The incident occurred June 18 about 8:30 a.m. Saturday at a residence in the 800 block of S. 68th Street, where Riveras Esteves allegedly “sent a text message video” of the victim “in a state of undress,” according to court records.
The message was sent to a third party and included “vulgar, shaming language,” according to court records.
The victim told the officers that the video was shared with Riveras Esteves “in confidence and at no time was permitted to be disseminated by” Riveras Esteves, according to court records.
According to court records, Riveras Esteves “knowingly shared the video with the intent to harass, shame and embarrass the victim.”
A warrant for Rivera Esteves’ arrest was ordered June 24 in Dallas County District Court and served July 12. Rivera Esteves was held in the Dallas County Jail prior to her release on her own recognizance. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Aug. 1 in Dallas County District Court.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
