Unlawful Distribution of Illicit and Sexual Images/Revenge Porn

New Jersey has established both criminal and civil laws to combat the unauthorized distribution of private intimate images, often known as revenge porn or sextortion. With the rise of the internet and social media, these acts can inflict serious emotional, psychological, and reputational damage on victims. The law offers strong protections, enabling criminal charges against offenders as well as civil claims for emotional harm. If you have been affected, knowing your rights and available legal remedies is crucial.

Understanding the Unlawful Distribution of Intimate or Sexual Images

  • Posting or sending explicit photos or videos of another person online without their permission, including through social media, websites, or messaging platforms.
  • Releasing private content with harmful intent, frequently as a form of retaliation or harassment, commonly called revenge porn.
  • Circulating intimate material that was acquired through deception, pressure, or manipulation, such as during a relationship or via a dating app.

Civil Actions for Emotional Harm and Compensation

Victims of the unlawful distribution of intimate images may pursue civil claims such as:

  • Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED)
  • Violation of Privacy Rights
  • Defamation of Character
  • Negligence

Steps to Follow If You’ve Been a Victim of Unlawful Image Distribution

If intimate or sexual images of you have been shared without consent, it is crucial to act quickly:

  • Keep Records of the Incident
  • File a Report with the Proper Authorities
  • Seek Guidance from a Lawyer

The New Jersey Injury Law Firm PLLC is among the limited number of firms in the state that have successfully pursued this type of case in Civil Supreme Court.
