Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to criminalize revenge porn — and force the creeps who post it online to register as sex offenders — under a plan he’ll unveil in his upcoming State of the State Address, The Post has learned.
As part of the proposal, the governor also intends to outlaw “sextortion,” or threatening someone into preforming sex acts.
“The dangerous proliferation of sextortion and revenge crimes disproportionately targets young women and girls and causes harm and embarrassment that can follow victims their entire lives,” Cuomo said.
“This new legislation outlaws this horrific, exploitive practice in New York once and for all and will help provide New Yorkers with peace of mind both on- and offline.”
Maybe he should instead of adding to theh bloated list find a way to limit the list.. nah that be crazy…
Wait, you mean up until this bill it is legal in NY to threaten someone unless they perform a sex act for you?
“Causes harm and embarrassment that can follow victims their entire lives,” Cuomo said.”
Oh, that’s really dripping with irony considering being on the registry does the SAME THING to people.
Which just goes to show this is about revenge and hate, not justice.
This is ridiculous Just shows its for punishment. What is it for your girlfriend to check before she bends over for an ass pic?
