Existing law creates a private [[w:Cause of action|w: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, has a '''[[w:cause of action]] against''' a person who either
* (1) '''creates''' and intentionally discloses sexually explicit material if the person knows or reasonably should have known the '''depicted''' individual '''did not [[w:consent]]''' to its creation or disclosure or
* (2) who '''intentionally discloses''' sexually explicit material that the person did not create if the person knows the '''depicted''' individual '''did not consent''' to its creation.
 
The bill would specify exceptions to those provisions, including if the material is a matter of legitimate public concern or a work of political or newsworthy value.
 
The bill would authorize a prevailing [[w:plaintiff]] who suffers harm to seek [[w:Injunction|w:injunctive]] relief and recover reasonable [[w:attorney’s fee]]s and costs as well as specified monetary [[w:damages]], including [[w:Statutory damages|statutory]] and [[w:punitive damages]].
