Nonconsensual Dissemination of Private Sexual Images (civil and criminal)

MN NCII Law
active

Enacted in 2016, these sections let a person sue, and allow prosecution of anyone, who shares sexual images of an identifiable person without consent when the image was made or obtained with a reasonable expectation of privacy. The civil section also covers using someone's personal information to solicit sexual acts in a way meant to harass or frighten them, and it preserves Section 230 protections for platforms.
