TWEAKS TO NC REVENGE PORN LAW


July 12, 2017 Uncategorized

Governor Cooper has signed into law a handful of amendments to NC’s so-called revenge porn law.  (§ 14-190.5A. Disclosure of private images )  As amended, the law applies to live transmissions as well as static images.  It also now applies not only to photographs that were taken with consent with an expectation that they will remain private but also to photographs taken without consent.  Violation of the law by someone 18 years or older is a Class H felony.  The first offense by someone under 18 is a Class 1 misdemeanor, but subsequent offenses are Class H felonies.  There have been several revenge porn arrests since the law went into effect in 2015.
