She sent a sex video of her and her husband to her husband’s ex, then claimed the ex broke into her computer to get the video, and tried to frame her with a police report.

first degree obscenity charge
I guess it’s bad that she committed crimes, but at least it was top-shelf obscenity.

Well, that’s impressively low, cunning, spiteful and vindictive. Can see why she’s trump’s star witness.

Maybe the obscenity was the computer fraud? 
So that people don’t have to slog through what I’m not sure is anti-MAGA far-right or “dirtbag left” article written by an edgelord (with all the gross sexist slurs you’d expect from either) to get to the substance of the story, the charge of “Using a Computer to Commit a Crime” seems to refer to Wright’s having used a business’s public Wifi access point to send a sex video of herself and her husband to the husband’s ex (after claiming that the ex had hacked Wright’s e-mail and stole the videos).
So not exactly 1337 hax0ring, but just using a public hotspot to send unsolicited material that the law might consider obscene. A bit of a weak kitchen-sink charge (similar to how wire fraud is often thrown in because a phone scammer used the phone to commit his crime), which is probably why she pleaded guilty to it instead of the obscenity charge and got off with an easy sentence and probation.
Whatever the legal judgment, the rest of the story is as you described above and her computer skills or lack thereof (she also apparently lied on her CV about having an Associates degree in IT from UMich) are less important than her history of lying and sociopathic behaviour.

Accusing your victim of hacking your computer because you can’t own up to your own creepy-ass actions is some non-trivial harassment though, especially considering she apparently went so far as to file a false police report. I had a psycho stalker pull something like that on me and it gobbled up way too much of my time and energy to deal with even though nobody took her claims seriously.

Absolutely. But she’s not charged with using a computer to commit a crime because she tried to frame the ex. It’s just that she used a computer to send the obscene video (which, how else? Hand delivery? A VHS tape?).
I’m kind of surprised that a harassment or stalking charge wasn’t in there with the other two (deliberately filing a false police report should also be in there).
Bottom line, any effort on the part of Giuliani would have revealed his star witness is an attention-seeking liar with a sordid history. But these are the crack legal team members whose research skills led them to hold a presser at a landscaping company thinking that it was a luxury hotel.

Having dealt with the aforementioned stalker I can attest that a lot of nasty harassing behavior that most people might assume was illegal often isn’t, at least not until you have a restraining order in place.

Another part of the story is that despite the presence of a year-long no-contact order as part of the probation Wright contacted her again over social media.
I’ve reserved a special loathing of stalkers after my sister was victimised by one when we were teenagers. To say it completely sucks to be targetted like that and that it’s a frustrating process to get the cops to take action are understatements.

Yeah from what I understand it’s pretty much impossible to charge unless you are in a state with specific anti-stalking laws. Most states don’t have those, and even when they do it’s apparently very difficult to successfully make a case. And even more difficult to get anyone in law enforcement to try. It’s pretty similar to, and often directly connected to the problems dealing with Domestic Abuse.

Uh, yeah? It happens all the time. If circumstances of a prior crime can be used to cast doubt on your character then it’s fair game. It can easily backfire as well.

Why should I like this misogynistic bullshit? Are we forgetting the current president paid off a porn star? Or is that okay, because it was a man?

Tell that to the CFAA, which basically says that “doing x misdemeanor but with a computer” is actually a felony now because you’re a COMPUTER CRIMINAL.

Thank you for summarizing, as I have no intention of clicking on that misogynistic article.
An important reminder that the enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

Are her details and background relevant here? He cheated on his wife (while she was pregnant … although that could have been a different instance of his serial cheating, and/or a different wife). Anything else is just shaming Daniels for her choices, no?

Because in the case of Trump, it was a violation of campaign finance law.
Her crime has nothing to do with her testimony here, so it’s pretty much irrelevant.
