Judge orders woman to turn over album containing nudes to ex-husband

A Utah woman was stunned when a judge ordered her to give her ex-husband a photo album which included nude photos.

Lindsay Marsh said the “boudoir style” photos were done early in her marriage. They included “loving” and intimate messages to her former husband, according to the Daily Mail.

Marsh was surprised when her ex-husband, Chris Marsh, requested the album when she filed for divorce in April 2021, after 25 years of marriage.

“It’s violating and it’s incredibly embarrassing and humiliating,” she said, according to the Daily Mail.

“The only way I can hopefully protect someone else from going through the same situation is to tell my story and expose that these are the types of things that he thinks are OK.”

Judge Michael Edward sided with Chris Marsh. There was a caveat that Marsh should go back to the photographer and edit the body of Lindsay Marsh, but the photographer refused.

The judge then ruled, in August this year, that Marsh must hand the album to a third party, who would edit the images.

“That person is to do whatever it takes to modify the pages of the pictures so that any photographs of [Lindsay Marsh] in lingerie or that sort of thing or even without clothing are obscured and taken out,” he wrote in a ruling shared with the Salt Lake Tribune.

Chris Marsh told the Tribune the books were full of memories, inscriptions and photos, stressing they were not “inappropriate-type books.”
