I was declared a DV victim and awarded a permanent restraining order recently, after an insidious extortion and harassmemt campaign by an ex.

However, being male, I can never even pretend to know what women who are sexually exploited like this go through. It makes me sad and angry to even think about it.

The CA revenge law is a good start, but criminal penalties must be increased to reflect the damage, pain, and suffering that are experienced by the victims.
