A months-long investigation by the Butler County Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of a Kentucky man accused of sharing nude photographs of his ex-husband through social media. Sheriff Richard K. Jones said detectives first received the complaint on November 10th, 2025. Investigators alleged that 24-year-old Aric Martin disseminated private sexual images of his ex-husband during an ongoing divorce proceeding. According to the sheriff’s office, the images were sent to members of the victim’s family in Lemon Township. Detectives conducted what the sheriff described as an extensive investigation involving social media subpoenas and search warrants before presenting the case to a Butler County grand jury. Martin was later indicted on one count of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images, a fifth-degree felony. Authorities said Martin was arrested May 29th in Falmouth, Kentucky, by Butler County Sheriff’s Office Warrants Division deputies and members of the U.S. Marshals Service Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team, also known as SOFAST. Martin was booked into the Grant County Detention Center and was awaiting extradition back to Butler County. “You can run, you can hide, and you can cross state lines, but sooner or later we're going to find you,” Sheriff Jones said in a statement. “This arrest proves that time and distance don't protect criminals from accountability.”
