The New Revenge Porn Law

Tuesday, October 22, 4:30-6:30,

Newburyport District
Court, State Street & Streaming

Two credits for CPCS YAD/criminal defense trial panels.

In an increasingly digital world, the proliferation of personal information online has
brought with it new and complex challenges. Among these is the deeply troubling
issue of non-consensual pornography, commonly known as 'revenge porn.' This form of abuse not only violates the privacy and dignity of individuals but also poses significant legal and ethical challenges.

The new law addresses this harmful behavior. This program delves into the legal
definitions, and the broader societal impact of revenge porn, as well as the ongoing challenges in enforcing the law and protecting victims. We consider the balance between privacy, justice, and the rights of individuals in the digital age.

The new law gives specific examples of coercive control tactics, including but not
limited to intentionally isolating a family member from support; depriving a family
member from basic needs; threatening to harm a child, family member or pet;
threatening to release sensitive images or information; and more.

Attend & Learn:
How has the definition of domestic abuse changed?
What constitutes coercive control and coercive control tactics?
How are laws on dangerousness and bail affected?
How might the expanded definition of abuse implicate parenting decisions?
