“State lawmakers are looking to make it a crime to post explicit photos of ex-spouses or romantic partners as a way of humiliating them. Lawmakers preparing for the 2014 session of the General Assembly are pitching legislation that would make so-called revenge porn a felony punishable by jail time and a fine.”

  1. When there is malicious intent and the action causes significant damage, of course there should be possible legal consequences. This is a huge problem among some teenagers today — who (maybe stupidly) exchange nude pictures in confidence, or have pictures stolen or taken without consent, then end up on porn sites or Instagram, etc. However, teenagers aren’t always of age to be criminally responsible for their actions … still it needs to be regulated in law, even if some people think that nudity and sex is not a big deal and nothing to be ashamed of. Well, pictures can still cause quite a lot of harm.
