Since we have been involved in addressing the problems for both victims and those accused of “revenge porn” we get a lot of news regarding what is going on around the nation on this topic. As we expected, having not done anything to anticipate the problem, state governments have been inundated with cries to do something, including from us. But, those attempts raise as many concerns as the acts themselves.

Noted Criminal Defense Attorney Scott Greenfield takes a look at an attempt by the New York State Senate to address the issue and expresses his concerns about where this can lead us.

Mr. Greenfield can be one of the most cantankerous criminal law bloggers out there. He is also one of the best, with a passionate eye towards slippery slopes. Those of us in California and other states should pay attention to what could be on the horizon.
