I’m normally not sympathetic to men in this situation.
After reading the headline, I was expecting to read yet another #metoo story of a victimized woman.

And then the facts unfold. Pictures taken during a consensual relationship (albeit stupidly). Anonymous woman finds out about other women he has been dating. She threatens him with the pictures (did she demand favors? Money?)
He threatens to tell the police - and why shouldn’t he?

Was it stupid and creepy? Yes.

But she’s no victim. And I think the millions of retweets and Internet jokes are punishment enough for this guy.

Sounds like he tried to discourage her from using the pictures for blackmail or extortion.

Sounds like it did not work.

he warned her against using the explicit materials “in a way that would negatively affect my career.”

So, if she found a way to use the explicit materials in a way that would positively affect his career, he'd be okay with that.

HE threatened to report HER? I think he’s confused.

Rep Barton that’s adding another “Conduct Unbecoming” to the already long list, of other charges.

Hit piece. Blackmail is a crime. Barton is the victim in this.

As is anyone who accidentally saw his nude visage.
