"Revenge Porn" Online Could Become a Felony in Maryland and Virginia

Maryland will soon pass this law that would make the non-consensual release of sexually explicit images a felony.

It remains to be seen whether the crime would be a felony or misdemeanor, and how severe the penalty would be.  A history of the emergence of this growing crime of Revenge Porn is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_porn.  New Jersey and California have already criminalized Revenge Porn.   A bill has passed in Virginia and awaits the governor's approval, at this writing.
