Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Brett is correct. New Jersey is (I believe) the only state to specifically enact legislation making revenge porn a felony. And California is in the process of making it a misdemeanor. But one of the arguments against such legislation in many states is that the conduct is *already* a crime under existing more general laws such as anti-harassment and anti-stalking laws.

 

Speaking as someone who has spent much of her career as a sex crimes prosecutor, I do think it is important to consider reporting to the police, requesting a restraining order and criminal prosecution as among the options a victim may consider, and offering advocacy against resistant systems if that is her choice. I have always admired the work done on campus as creating *additional* and often more suitable options. But I would hate to think that means excluding the more traditional ones.

It's a crime in many jurisdictions, and tortious in all.

I’m interested in seeing what others have to say on this topic.  I am not a lawyer, but I do not believe it is illegal to share pictures that someone gave to you on those sites that exist for posting your exes pictures.  I think is a great way to discuss sexting and how whatever you do, like taking and sharing naked pictures can be used in ways to hurt you after the fact.  There are several sites where people can share pictures of their exes and while I don’t dispute its wrong;  I’m not sure it is illegal either…. I do know that there have been cases where exes have put naked pictures up with contact info for the person and they then are contacted by people looking for sex, etc.  I am sure though, like as the case on this campus, it would be a violation of campus policies….

It's also a crime. Speaking of which, it definitely seems like stalking belongs in this discussion as well.

I would go beyond this being an "unhealthy breakup".  This is potentially a violation of Title IX and the school's student code under sexual exploitation.

Subject: healthy and unhealthy breakups

 

 

Hi all, 

 

Reaching out for some help based on a request I received from one of our college’s counselors at my prevention committee meeting this morning. She said she is receiving more clients who are dealing with “unhealthy breakups”. The example she gave was the posting of naked pictures of an ex-partner on social media sites.

 

  

Has anyone addressed these kinds of behaviors from the perspective of healthy/unhealthy breakups?

 

 Anyone interested in collaborating on this topic?
