And why did she keep seeing him after he sent them to her? Under TX law, the question is whether "the intimate visual material was obtained by the defendant or created under circumstances in which the depicted person had a reasonable expectation that the material would remain private."
We don't know the nature of the back and forth conversations between them that preceded the sending of these images. Yes, she has said, now, that she didn't want them. But the fact she didn't delete them could call into question the credibility of her statement -- and if the texts or emails between them still exist, they would be pretty strong evidence as to whether it was reasonable for Barton to think the communications between them would remain private.
