George Zimmerman, a local child killer who was acquitted for the murder of Trayvon Martin in 2013, had his Twitter account suspended Thursday afternoon for posting nude photos of a woman he claims cheated on him with a "dirty Muslim."  

As first reported by Mic, the two tweets showed not only a nude woman (who he claims stole money and a gun) but also contained what appears to be her phone number and email address.

Unfortunately for Zimmerman, who was arrested last January for alleged domestic violence, posting or transmitting nude photos of someone without their consent is considered a sex crime under Florida's sexual cyberharassment law, which is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison.

The bill was signed by Gov. Rick Scott on October 1.
