@eobox91103 interesting read.
Ive had a couple discussions on here in comments about the fact that judges often have thrown out cases about 'revenge porn' or in the earlier days before that was even a widespread concept... unless there was malice (ex lover), or hacking stealing of someones nudes, or spying like that ESPN reporters case.
For underage people they generally stopped prosecuting underage that leak other underage because the court way overstepped trying to classify them as predators because the system didnt know any better or have other options. That trend stopped overall I think. Thats not to say underage images of any sort are okay, just the legal bit about it for others underage who would normally be the ones carrying around images of their friends.
BUT all this revenge porn prosecution landscape is all shifting recently and rapidly.... These types of bait leaks if properly tracked to a source will certainly be legal turmoil for those that leak them. For bystanders that observe them (like us), I dont think many courts would be doing much, nor would it probably end up before a court.
Point here being...Unlike the past, if your baiting people (adults) in 2025 and leaking... if caught youre fucked pretty much in the US...
