The girl told Rucker that she was 14. Rucker, who was 18 in September 2025, allegedly told her he was 16 or 17. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The victim told investigators that she and Rucker exchanged multiple nude photos of themselves. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">She described her relationship with Rucker as \u201ctoxic\u201d and \u201ccontrolling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">In one instance, according to the affidavit, Rucker threatened to send her intimate photos to the school she attended. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Nearly two months later, authorities said employees at the victim\u2019s school contacted police after they received a picture of her face and multiple \u201cnude images\u201d of her from an email address belonging to Rucker. School officials notified the victim\u2019s mother about the photos, police said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The girl\u2019s mother later told authorities she began messaging Rucker from the victim\u2019s cellphone. In one message, the woman told Rucker to \u201cstop contacting\u201d her daughter and that law enforcement was \u201cgetting involved,\u201d the affidavit states. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">In response, Rucker allegedly told the victim\u2019s mother that he \u201cdidn\u2019t care,\u201d documents indicate. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Rucker\u2019s allegations may correspond with a federal law <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksat.com\/news\/local\/2025\/06\/06\/bexar-county-leaders-tout-new-federal-law-to-protect-most-vulnerable-from-revenge-porn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.ksat.com\/news\/local\/2025\/06\/06\/bexar-county-leaders-tout-new-federal-law-to-protect-most-vulnerable-from-revenge-porn\/\">that was enacted in 2025<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The law, referred to as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/LSB11314#:~:text=Upon%20receiving%20such%20a%20notice,covered%20by%20the%20FTC%20Act.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/LSB11314#:~:text=Upon%20receiving%20such%20a%20notice,covered%20by%20the%20FTC%20Act.\">TAKE IT DOWN Act<\/a>, was signed by President Donald Trump last May.
