Existing law creates a private right of action against a person who intentionally distributes a photograph or recorded image of another that exposes the intimate body parts of that person or of a person engaged in a sexual act without the person's consent if specified conditions are met. This bill would provide that a depicted individual, as defined, who suffers harm resulting from the intentional disclosure of sexually explicit material without their consent has a cause of action against a person who creates and discloses the sexually explicit material if the person knew or reasonably should have known the depicted individual did not consent, and against a person who discloses, but does not create, the sexually explicit material if the person knew the depicted individual did not consent. The bill would exclude from liability the disclosure of sexually explicit material under specified circumstances, and would establish procedures and requirements for bringing a cause of action under these provisions, including provisions on damages, the use of a pseudonym in pleadings, and requiring an action to be brought within a specified time.
