I feel like this should be relatively easy to put an end to.
1. Make revenge porn site give up IP address that uploaded the incriminating images;
2. Check to see if victim's ex-boyfriend lives at the street address leasing the IP;
3. Get a warrant to sieze all his computers;
4. Find the images on his hard drive;
5. Convict him
I guess a judge has to figure out what crime he's guilty of, but from that article it sounds like he could be guilty of at least three. It would be harder if the perpetrator was security-conscious, but even private VPN services are required to hand over information if there's evidence of their users engaging in criminal activity, and most of these douchebags don't even know what a VPN is.

But it's likely to be a slow process; for starters, the site will drag its feet about supplying the records. And if the uploader used a smartphone on the Wifi in Starbucks, it gets that much harder to track him. To make a serious dent in this, I think you need some way to dissuade people from running the site.
