  • Revenge Pornº: an Evaluation of the Elements That Make an Effective Nonconsensual Pornography Statute
    DECONSTRUCTING THE STATUTORY LANDSCAPE OF ªREVENGE PORNº: AN EVALUATION OF THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE AN EFFECTIVE NONCONSENSUAL PORNOGRAPHY STATUTE Jonathan S. Sales and Jessica A. Magaldi* INTRODUCTION Changes in social mores and technology have yielded the phenomenon of sext- ing, which includes the capturing and forwarding of intimate images through the Internet.1 Research reveals that nearly ®fty percent of adults in the United States have sent or received intimate digital content. 2 At the same time, the con¯uence of these changes has spawned new violations of privacy and predatory actions when these images are made available on the Internet without the subject's consent.3 The re-distribution or dissemination of these intimate images without the consent of the subject and without a legitimate purpose (such as a law enforcement investigation) is referred to as nonconsensual pornography (ªNCPº). 4 NCP has caused victims to suffer substantial harm.5 In some cases, NCP inci- dents have precipitated a victim's suicide.6 Prior generations might have concluded that a person who allowed such images to be captured and placed in the possession of another person assumed the risk of re-distribution; in essence, a negligence, recklessness, or constructive consent argument. In contrast, in the twenty-®rst cen- tury, capturing or sharing of intimate images is often regarded as an acceptable * Jonathan S.

FIGHTING CYBERCRIME AFTER UNITED STATES V. JONES DAVID GRAY,* DANIELLE KEATS CITRON** & LIZ CLARK RINEHART*** In a landmark nondecision last term, five Justices of the United States Supreme Court would have held that citizens possess a Fourth Amendment right to expect that certain quantities of information about them will remain private, even if they have no such expectations with respect to any of the information or data constituting that whole. This quantitative approach to evaluating and protecting Fourth Amendment rights is certainly novel and raises serious conceptual, doctrinal, and practical challenges. In other works, we have met these challenges by engaging in a careful analysis of this “mosaic theory” and by proposing that courts focus on the technologies that make collecting and aggregating large quantities of information possible.

  • Online Sexual Exploitation of Children in the Philippines 1
    The sexual exploitation of children is, sadly, not a new phenomenon. It has existed for many centuries, has victimized children of any age from all countries, and has been committed by offenders of all backgrounds from around the world. What has changed however, are the ways in which these offences occur and the mechanisms that facilitate these types of abuse. In the last fifteen years there has been a significant increase in the use of technologies internationally. Across much of the globe, it is hard to find a person without at least one mechanism that allows them to access the Internet at the mere touch of a button. However, as history will teach us, with every new invention there will be misuse - this has never been more evident than with online technologies and the Internet. Technological advancements have changed the ways through which children are sexually exploited – online child sexual exploitation continues to grow exponentially with hotlines around the world reporting a consistent and continual increase in number of cases every year. Efforts internationally are responding to these increases. We are seeing police agencies utilizing technology to help them further investigations and more and more industry partners are exploring how they can be part of the solution. Additionally, non-government agencies continue to seek out new opportunities to enhance their support to victims in their communities through supporting criminal justice and social service system development, survivor care, and community-based support mechanisms. Never before has it been more important to work together to protect children. But in order to do just that, it is imperative that we know more about these crimes against children.
