The bill would create a right to sue over the nonconsensual disclosure of intimate digital depictions, including digitally altered images. It would also make certain disclosures or threats to disclose such images a federal crime when made with specified harmful intent or knowledge. Exceptions include some disclosures related to law enforcement, legal proceedings, public concern, or helping the depicted person.
An identifiable person depicted could sue if the image was disclosed without their consent and the other legal conditions are met. Consent to creating an image would not count as consent to disclose it. Valid consent must be in a plain-language written agreement signed knowingly and voluntarily. The bill allows criminal penalties, including up to two years in prison, or up to ten years for certain serious cases.
The text does not state government implementation costs. Courts could award damages, profits gained from the depiction, attorney fees, and other relief. No publicly available information about other costs.
