Nonconsensual distribution of intimate images and sexual extortion, or “sextortion,” are becoming common experiences for too many people. The dissemination of sexually explicit images of others without their permission, sometimes called “revenge porn” or “nonconsensual pornography,” often involves situations where the individual consented to the photos or videos but expected they would be kept private. In other cases, images may have been taken surreptitiously, and then shared.
