Revenge porn involves the non-consensual sharing of intimate images or videos, often by a former partner, with the intent to harm or embarrass the victim. This malicious act can occur through various means, including social media, websites, and other digital platforms. The impact on victims can be devastating, leading to significant emotional distress, reputational damage, and even threats to personal safety.
Legal Protections Against Revenge Porn in California
California has stringent laws in place to protect victims of revenge porn. Under California Penal Code Section 647(j)(4), it is illegal to distribute intimate images without the subject’s consent with the intent to cause emotional distress. Victims have the right to seek both criminal and civil remedies, including restraining orders, financial compensation, and criminal charges against the perpetrator. Our firm is well-versed in these laws and committed to using every legal tool available to protect your rights and secure justice.
