Scenario 3. Mary is showering in a closed-door bathroom, where she feels she has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Without her knowledge, Pete surreptitiously cracks the door to the bathroom and films her. This could be an invasion of privacy, a violation of PC j 1. In the first scenario above, all parties involved had reached the age of consent and had knowingly agreed to the photos being taken and shared.
In Scenarios 2 and 3, the person being observed or photographed did not consent to the photos or video being taken. But what happens if someone agrees to have sexual images taken of them, but does not consent to sharing them? I found myself under false accusations and he really came through. I was really freaking out, and Robert was able to make me feel like I was in good hands.
Mary, 23, ends a romantic relationship with Pete, 25, and the breakup is acrimonious. Pete could be found guilty of a violation of PC j 4. Because this image does not depict a visible intimate body part or a person engaged in sexual intercourse, it cannot be revenge porn.
This means that there is a lot of nuance into how they will be interpreted in a courtroom, and there is a lot of open room to mount legal defenses against this. Pete and Mary break up, and it is acrimonious.
