Yes, the exes consented, but this law, like others, sets limits to legally effective consent. Jim Lane Oct 2013 #160

Although arguably, a less-harsh penalty may increase the chances of conviction. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #156

Good! Although I might argue that 'intent' ought to be irrelevant petronius Oct 2013 #19

exactly. make it clear. the wrong is putting it on the net without permission. nt seabeyond Oct 2013 #21

The intent element is the only thing that makes it arguably Constitutional jberryhill Oct 2013 #64

Without "intent", it would be struck down by the first court that reviewed it. Xithras Oct 2013 #71

Exactly. The "intent" part may seem unnecessary, but without it the law would be too vague. n/t nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #157

Yeah, that ought to be a crime. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #29

This law is necessary, but really won't stop it inch4progress Oct 2013 #33

Fine objective but it's hard to prove intent. nt rrneck Oct 2013 #37

Not really...just don't post a picture of a naked friend. Tikki Oct 2013 #81

What if consent was given but then denied? rrneck Oct 2013 #84

Well, we learn to err on the side of 'just don't do it under any circumstances.' Tikki Oct 2013 #86

It's much better to err rrneck Oct 2013 #90

My husband took photos of semi-nudes for his art class...there had to be a release signed with terms Tikki Oct 2013 #91

Harassment maybe, but libel or defamation? I doubt it. Orrex Oct 2013 #110

Harassment would probably be the best way Taverner Oct 2013 #111

That's an interesting point Orrex Oct 2013 #116

Invasion of privacy might be a better route Taverner Oct 2013 #112

I agree that privacy might be the issue, but I'm not sure about that example Orrex Oct 2013 #117

The intent element is critical, though jberryhill Oct 2013 #127

Prosecutors will end up abusing it davidn3600 Oct 2013 #129

You still need a jury, since intent is purely a fact / totality of circumstances issue jberryhill Oct 2013 #130
