Bill > HB2257

This bill makes the distribution of intimate images a crime, defining it as knowingly disclosing a photograph or film of someone's intimate areas with the intent to cause emotional distress, under circumstances where the person expected the image to remain private and subsequently suffers emotional distress. This new crime, "distributing intimate images," is classified as a class C felony, similar to the existing crime of voyeurism which involves secretly viewing or recording someone in a private place or their intimate areas without consent for sexual gratification. The bill also updates a table that categorizes various crimes by seriousness level, adding "Distribution of Intimate Images" to Level II.
