Geographical scope: This consultation applies to the law of England and Wales. Duration of the consultation: We invite responses from 26 February 2021 to 27 May 2021.

  • Tennessee Revenge Porn Law: Prosecutorial Problems and Potential Solutions
    TENNESSEE REVENGE PORN LAW: PROSECUTORIAL PROBLEMS AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS by Doni L. Porteous Submitted in fulfillment of the rigorous writing requirement for the degree of JURIS DOCTOR at the NASHVILLE SCHOOL OF LAW 2020 Abstract: In 2016, Tennessee joined the majority of states incorporating a version of “revenge porn” laws on its books. The relatively new law currently has no appellate-level guidance to assist in the plain language of T.C.A. 39-17-318 (Unlawful Exposure). Problems in effective prosecution under this law have presented, narrowing the scope of the crime and excluding certain victims. A closer look at the language within the state reveals concerns when applied to real world situations. An in-depth survey of other states’ statutory language offers ideas and options for curing Tennessee’s current statutory language via amendment. Approaching the challenges with what works in other states may produce a more effective “revenge porn” statute for both prosecution and victim protection. Introduction: Effective July 1, 2016, Tennessee enacted Tenn. Code Ann. 39-17-318 entitled Unlawful Exposure.1 The new law enshrined statutory language for the prosecution of nonconsensual pornography, commonly known as “revenge porn.” Nonconsensual pornography is the distribution of naked or sexually-charged images of persons without their consent.2 With the passage of the Unlawful Exposure law, Tennessee joined the majority of other states recognizing existence of the crime and codifying elements for criminal prosecution.3 Currently, forty-five states and the District of Columbia have enacted nonconsensual porn laws.4 1 Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-318 (2016).
