From Protective Order To Revenge Porn: The Patrick Rubeck Case Cocaine, Cameras, And a BMW X5

A simple traffic stop cracked open a far more unsettling story. We start with a warrant, a BMW X5, and a baggie that tested positive for cocaine—but the real revelations unfold through a chain of search warrants, IP logs, Amazon receipts, and devices pulled from a condo that point to harassment, nonconsensual recording, and calculated online impersonation. We walk through how fake Instagram accounts pushed intimate videos to the victim’s contacts, how detectives traced activity back to a Verizon home internet account, and how a forensic sweep uncovered a likely hidden-camera setup, a taped-over GoPro, and a closet bag packed with lock picks, AirTags, night vision, a fake badge, and more.

Along the way, we unpack the legal and human stakes: why “my house, my footage” fails when consent is absent, how revenge porn laws and protective orders intersect, and why prosecutors often enhance charges when drugs and firearms appear together. We also explore the platform side—how quick-burn sockpuppet accounts evade detection, what IP and device metadata can prove, and where Meta, Apple, and Google records become pivotal evidence. The iCloud trove matters here, including videos the victim says she never consented to and screenshots of her social graph that suggest a deliberate plan to maximize harm.

We then consider allegations from the workplace: late-night messages, missing wages, and attempts to access restricted sorority floors tied to a cleaning contract. Those claims, if true, fit the broader pattern of control and proximity. Our aim is clarity and caution: practical steps for digital safety, from recognizing clone profiles and unexpected AirTags to documenting harassment in ways that help investigators build a case. If you care about consent, privacy, and the way technology can be twisted to intimidate, this story offers a clear, sobering map of how abuse escalates—and how careful documentation can fight back.
