Revenge porn has become a serious issue, damaging lives with few legal consequences, despite recent legislative efforts like California's misdemeanor law. When a situation arises involving a friend whose ex-girlfriend is depicted in private pornographic material, reaching out is imperative. It’s crucial to communicate with the friend suspected of sharing the video, emphasizing the wrongful nature of revenge. Experts suggest that if this individual controls the content's distribution, they should act to remove it swiftly to mitigate potential harm to the ex-girlfriend.
This new plague of revenge porn is ruining lives and there is currently little legal recourse. California just passed a law making posting such material a misdemeanor.
If indeed he is the perpetrator, you should tell him that you have now seen the video. Tell him you know his ex did him wrong, but he should not compound the wrongdoing by exacting such vicious revenge.
Citron says if he posted to a site where he controls his content, he could simply take down the video. Let's hope it hasn't been more widely disseminated and that her name hasn't gotten attached.
