Lamar man allegedly sent revenge porn to estranged wife's boss

The Barton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a first-degree harassment charge against a Lamar man who allegedly dealt with anger over his separation from his wife by sending revenge porn to her boss and text messages to her father saying things "that were nasty and untrue."

An arrest warrant was issued for Gavin Xander Hall (DOB 2000) with bond set at $1,000 cash or surety.

According to the probable cause statement,  after Hall and his wife separated and she moved to Springfield, Hall began sending her father text messages about her "that were nasty and untrue."

After that, the statement said, "Gavin began to send messages to {her} boss. I contacted and he confirmed the messages, stating Gavin was calling {her} a whore and the sexual things he had done with her. Gavin stated he had a video and offered to send it to {him} but {he} declined. Gavin also sent a nude picture of {her} that he photoshopped on a flyer, advertising her for sexual material to be paid through Cashapp at a $10 a minute rate with an 8-minute minimum."

When a Barton County Sheriff's Office deputy questioned him at his probation and parole meeting in Lamar, Hall denied sending the messages and material.

"Gavin stated he had all the text messages and evidence of his innocence on his phone.I gave Gavin my business car and asked him to e-mail anything he had. Gavin said he would have to do it later because the information was on his other phone at home. I later received a call from Gavin who stated he did not have the information after all.

Greene County Circuit Court records indicate Hall was placed on probation for five years in 2023 after being sentenced to four years in prison, then having the sentence suspended after pleading guilty to unlawful use of a weapon.

According to the probable cause statement in that case, Hall threatened his wife with a knife and threatened to kill anyone who came into the room.

He currently is facing three misdemeanor domestic assault charges and two charges of violation of a protection order.
