Tad Wilson was a student at Neptune High. He was the clingy and overly dominant ex-boyfriend of Carmen Ruiz. When she tried to dump him because he was leaving for the Navy, he threatened to send an incriminating video of Carmen skinny dipping in a hot tub with a popsicle. Carmen runs to Veronica Mars for help. She was able to snag his phone that had the picture, which Carmen later destroyed, but he sends a copy of the video to Veronica, leaving Carmen no choice but to stay with him. She was clearly disgusted.
