AI Summary
This bill amends existing Florida law to expand the definition of "sexual cyberharassment" to include the dissemination of sexually explicit images through electronic means, in addition to publication on websites. The bill specifies that a person may retain a reasonable expectation of privacy in an image they have shared with an intimate partner, and that sharing an image alone does not eliminate this expectation. The bill also increases the penalties for sexual cyberharassment, allowing for civil lawsuits and providing for law enforcement to arrest and investigate violations without a warrant.
