Dear US Legislators,
We demand federal legislation that criminalizes the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.

The Problem

Chances are, you know a victim who has experienced this nightmare. The sharing of intimate images has become a regular part of modern relationships, but with no recourse for victims and inconsistent state laws, the abuse of these images has proliferated. The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative conducted research that found 1 in 8 participants had been victimized by or threatened with non-consensual pornography. "The actual number is undoubtedly higher. As many as 10,000 websites feature "revenge porn," some dedicated solely to this content." -CCRI's Guide for Legislators by Dr. Mary Anne Franks.

My Story

I shared my testimony of becoming a victim of IBSA in the 2022 Netflix documentary, "The Most Hated Man on the Internet." But, like the others, I could not escape the crushing tidal wave of shame and depression. I narrowly survived. Tragically, some did not. So now I'm powering my purpose and initiative from that pain to advocate, support victims, and fight for legislation. Since the Netflix documentary aired, victims of IBSA have reached out to me on every platform seeking help.

Our Current Broken System

48 out of 50 states have adopted some legislation against image-based sexual abuse, but no federal law is currently in place. No government agency provides victim outreach. 

So what exactly is the current course of action for victims today?

The current answer that all supportive institutions promote, including Meta, is to contact the police. But victims are taking to social media to describe their encounters with making police reports and how ineffective this method is. For example, one victim testified that the police asked her to go ask a judge what to do, but the judge sent her back to the police. There is nowhere else to turn unless a victim is financially secure enough to hire an attorney. The mountain each victim must climb emotionally and legally to find peace is unnecessarily overwhelming. 

Call To Action

Society has evolved. We've entered the information age. So we demand congress pass modern laws to protect our digital privacy. And to make every tech company that provides an opportunity for technology-facilitated sexual abuse to occur on their platform accountable for their responsibility to ensure a safe experience for their users.
