¬./Anonymous¬ Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 illinois Passes New 'Revenge Porn' Law That Includes Harsh PenaltiesPosted: 12/30/2014 8:11 pm EST Updated: 4 hours ago Illinois became the latest state to criminalize "revenge porn," crafting what its creators hope will become a model for federal legislation.Gov. Pat Quinn on Monday signed a measure making the "non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images" a felony offense in Illinois. The new "revenge porn" law -- so called because the intimate photos and videos are commonly distributed by a former (and often embittered) romantic partner -- goes into effect June 1, 2015, and will punish offenders with one to three years in prison and up to a $25,000 fine.“We believe [revenge porn] is a form of sexual assault," State Representative Scott Drury (D-Highwood), one of the bill's co-sponsors, told The Huffington Post. "The harm to the victim and the way they react to it is very similar: They’re not comfortable going out in public anymore; they fear being assaulted; they could be stalked. You could be someone working at Burger King, and now you’re a sex object.â€Carrie Goldberg -- a board member of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, which aided in the creation of the Illinois law -- said the measure should be viewed as model legislation for three key reasons: It targets not just ex-paramours, but also random hackers who aren't necessarily bent on revenge as much as creating chaos; it forces offenders to forfeit any profit they make from the images; and it actually imposes stiff penalties on offenders.More at link;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/30/illinois-revenge-porn_n_6396436.html referenced from Anon ~ White Tarah.
