Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act

Description

The disclosure of private, sexually explicit images without consent and for no legitimate purpose—often referred to as “revenge porn”—causes immediate, devastating, and in many cases irreversible harm. A vengeful ex-partner, opportunistic hacker, or other person with mal-intentions can upload an explicit image of a victim to a website where thousands of people can view it and hundreds of other websites can share it. States have adopted criminal and civil laws to address this issue, however, they differ considerably in their definitions, scope, effectiveness, and remedies. The Uniform Law Commission promulgated the Uniform Civil Remedies for the Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act (UCRUDIIA) to provide uniformity, eliminate confusion, and provide victims with a clear path to justice.
