AI Summary
This bill, known as the Increased Accountability for Nonconsensual Pornography Act of 2025, amends the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 to enhance legal protections against the unauthorized sharing of intimate images. The bill modifies existing law by adding the term "competent" to the description of individuals depicted in such images and expands the definition of who can be considered a victim to include an identifiable individual engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Importantly, the bill also increases the potential civil penalty for violations from $150,000 to $500,000, which significantly raises the financial consequences for those who share intimate images without consent. This legislative change aims to provide stronger legal recourse for victims of nonconsensual pornography by broadening the scope of protected individuals and imposing more substantial financial penalties on those who violate the law, thereby creating a stronger deterrent against such harmful behavior.
