DAVIE, Fla. — A 42-year-old woman faces charges in Broward County over at least one altered image that was posted on Instagram, authorities said.

Police officers accused Victoria Roman, who works as a graphic designer, of sharing an image of a victim on Nov. 19 on Instagram, according to an arrest warrant.

According to an email sent to Local 10 News by a man who identified himself as Roman’s husband, she is accused of “giving someone a breast” in the photo. He said the alleged victim in the case is an adult.

Roman surrendered to police officers on Thursday in Davie, and corrections booked her at the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, records show.

Roman, of Miramar, appeared in bond court on Friday morning. A judge ordered her to stay away from devices with internet access.

Roman faced four counts of promotion of altered sexual depiction. Her bond was set at $60,000.

Roman later released the following statement to Local 10 News: “I have been subjected to prejudicial discrimination by the alleged victim in the case. There was no valid reason for her to kick me out like trash because 4 of my black students attended a free seminar that someone else approved of. (The alleged victim) slandered my name in a horrific way and took several thousand dollars from my family and didn’t fulfill her business agreement. Please watch the YouTube Video, ‘American Tigers Martial Arts - Student Unjustly Kicked Out’ for more information. There’s much more to this unfortunate situation.”
