What is Revenge Porn?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a person shares a private image with their partner, a reasonable person could assume that the image would remain private. In some circumstances, however, the partner may share that private image without the consent of the person in the photo in order to distress or harass them. This is what is called \u201crevenge porn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revenge porn is a form of cyber sexual abuse<\/strong> and, as the name suggests, is usually done out of spite or a need for revenge. Many people distribute revenge porn as a way to get revenge on a former sexual partner or spouse, especially if their separation or divorce<\/a> was messy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the advent of the internet and the prevalence of social media, it\u2019s incredibly easy for people to share sexually explicit images with a large number of people. With these sites, someone could easily share revenge porn on a platform where countless people could see, which could cause the victim to suffer from a great deal of distress, embarrassment, and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Revenge Porn a Crime in Louisiana?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Louisiana has a revenge porn law<\/strong> that outlines exactly what constitutes revenge porn and what punishments people may be subject to should they break this law. In almost every state in America, it is illegal to distribute revenge porn, but each state has its own qualifications as to what could be considered revenge porn and how harsh the punishment for that crime should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Louisiana, knowingly sharing sexually explicit images or videos without a person\u2019s consent, and sharing them with the intent to harass or distress the person depicted in them could constitute revenge porn. This law does not include sharing or possessing sexually explicit images or videos of a person under the age of consent in Louisiana<\/a>., which is a separate crime entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
