It’s interesting to me that she’s suggesting people are breaking the revenge porn law for content she freely uploaded online as a camgirl, doesn’t really seem like it fits.

    I think that’s the problem, she didn’t upload anything.

    She and her husband were streaming on Chaturbate. Someone archived the videos.

    A month after she announced her candidacy, someone took the archived copies and uploaded them.

    A little different than if she or her husband did it themselves.

      She accepted money to make a public exhibition.

      The motives of the person who re-uploaded, based on the time-frame, make him an asshole.

      Sex work, especially of the digital kind, should not be stigmatized to begin with.

      Her and her husband are hot. They needed money. They showed some folks a good time for tips. And?

      I’m sure her rival has done worse for a dollar.

      I doubt any lawyer worth their bar license would be unable to convince a jury of average Internet users that she disseminated those videos on the Internet herself. Her alleged expectation that they wouldn’t be stored or otherwise available in the future is laughable.

      Now she (or more likely the website she used) might have a cause of action against the person if they tried to sell them or otherwise profit from them, but only from an intellectual property point of view. Definitely no sex crimes happened here.

        What are you talking about?

        Assuming she is telling the truth, someone (not her) recorded her Chaturbate session, and then uploaded it to another site or sites without her permission

        That is 100% a crime under revenge porn laws

        Simply recording the stream may have been a crime

        Doing a one time streaming event is totally different than recording that event and re-uploading it in a more permanent fashion.

        Especially since the upload only happened a month after she announced her candidacy.
