But in 2011 , soon after Jefts ended her long-distance relationship with a boyfriend who lived ⅲ ltaly, ex- plicit screenshots from their Skype con- versations began tO appear online. They were emailed t0 her family and friends, posted on Facebook with violent threats against her and even appeared on web- sites devoted tO exposing people's sexu- ally transmitted diseases, with false alle- gations about her sexual history. There's a name for what Jefts has ex- perienced, a digital sex crime that has up- ended thousands oflives but still mostly eludes law enforcement.• nonconsensual porn, better known as revenge porn. The tWO are not quite the same: revenge porn is often intended tO harass the victim, while any image that is circulated with- out the agreement Of the subject is non- consensual porn. But bOth can result in public degradation, social isolation and professional humiliation. EnabIed by the technological and cul- tural upheaval that put a camera in every 58 TIME July 10 ー 17 , 2017 pocket and created a global audience for every social-media POSt, nonconsensual porn has become increasingly C01 mon. Practically every day brings reports of a new case: A 19-year-old woman in Texas was blackmailed into having sex with three Other teens after a former partner threatened tO release an explicit video of her. A 20-something ⅲ PennsyIvania had 1 加 4 Ratio Of men in a survey Of nearly 6 , 000 single adults whO said they have received a sexual phOtO 23 % Percentage Of those receiving nude photos whO reported passing them on tO others; men were twice as likely tO spread photos as women strange men coming tO her door after an ex-boyfriend posted her pictures and ad- dress with an invitation tO "come hOOk up. ” An lllinois sch001 superintendent in her 50S was fired after her ex-husband al- legedly sent an explicit video ofher to the s chool board. Some of these private photos and videos find their way tO porn sites, where "revenge ” iS itS own genre. Often, however, they're posted on social media, where all the victim's friends can see them. According tO documents obtained by the Guardian, Faceb00k received more than 51 , 000 reports Of revenge porn in January 2017 alone, which led the site tO disable more than 14 , 000 accounts. A 2016 survey Of 3 , 000 lnternet users by the journal D 地 0 〃 d Society found that roughly 1 in 25 Americans has either had someone post an image without permission or threaten tO dO so—for women under 30 , that figure rose tO 1 in 10. And a June Faceb00k survey by the anti— revenge porn advocacy group Cyber Civil Rights lnitiative (CCRI) found that 1 in 20 social-media users has posted a sexually graphic image without consent. The problem gained new prominence earlier this year, when hundreds ofactive- duty and veteran Marines were found tO be circulating explicit images Of women service members. The images were POSted in a secret Facebook group, passed around the way that their grandfathers might have traded copies of b . Dozens 0f service members have been investigated since the scandal broke ⅲ January, lead- ing the Marines tO formally ban noncon- sensual porn in April. ln May, the House Of Representatives unanimously VOted tO make nonconsensual porn a military crime subject tO court-martial. ln some cases, the perpetrators are hackers whO target famous women, searching for compromising phOtOS tO leak. Last year, Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones was hacked and her nude pic- tures were spread online. ln 2014 , nude photos 0fJennifer Lawrence and 0ther fe- male celebrities were hacked and leaked in one Ofthe biggest nonconsensual-porn cases t0 date. And it's a problem nearly everywhere in the world: ⅲ May, nude photos purportedly 0f Rwandan presi- dential candidate Diane Shima Rwigara appeared online days after she an- nounced her intention tO challenge the
the lntimate privacy Protection Act, as has billionaire Trump supporter and lnternet- privacy advocate Peter Thiel. lt also has bipartisan support from eight Republican co-sponsors. But the measure, which stalled in committee last year, has vocal critics whO oppose enacting new criminal laws that target speech. The American Civil Liber- ties Union (ACLU) objects t0 language that would criminalize nonconsensual porn regardless Of intent—the part most celebrated by victim advocates. "The Su- preme Court has correctly said again and again that when the government crimi- nalizes speech, intent iS a crucial C01 れ PO - nent,: ” says Lee Rowland, a senior staff at- torney for the ACLU's speech, privacy and technology pr0Ject. "We d0 not put some- body in jail ⅲ this country simply be- cause their speech offends someone else. ” With the law-enforcement response in flux, tech companies have begun re- sponding t0 growing pressure t0 help ad- dress the problem. Under the 1996 Com- munications Decency Act, platforms like Google and Facebook aren't liable for the content theyhost, which means they can't be held legally responsible for the non- consensual porn on their networks. But after an outpouring Ofuser requests, sev- eral maJ0r websites have developed new policies t0 help fight revenge porn. ln 2015 , streaming porn site Pornhub made it easier for victims tO request that non- consensual content be removed from itS site, and Google removed the images from its search results. Twitter and Reddit have also updated their rules t0 prohibit non- consensual porn. ln April, Facebook un- veiled a tool enabling users to flag con- tent they think is being shared without consent; company technicians then check ifit's appeared anywhere else on the net- work tO prevent it from spreading fur- ther. But this kind of approach requires significant manpower, since nonconsen- sual porn is diffcult t0 identify. Unlike child pornography, which can often be spotted on sight, an image posted with- out consent doesn't necessarily 100k dif- ferent than one posted willingly. The problem is confounding on almost every level: personal, legal and techni- cal. And as lawyers sue and lawmakers debate, millions Of pictures are still out there circulating, multiplying, waiting t0 ruin a life. ロ WHYIT'S SO HARD FOR REVENGE-PORN VICTIMS TO GETJUSTICE Sex crimes can be difficult tO prosecute when they take place in the physical world—when the offense happens online,justice is even harder tO come by. Between cultural attitudes, technological obstacles and legalinconsistencies,victims Of nonconsensual porn face a challenging road tO recourse. PERSONAL SHAME Many revenge-porn victims are t00 embarrassed tO come forward, especially if they tOOk the nude photos themselves. ViCtim blaming iS pervasive, and the first response Of many friends, family and even police officers is tO ask why anyone would take and send a nude phOtO in the first place. PeopIe would ask, "'HOW could you share those photos?' " recalls Cyber CiviI Rights lnitiative founder HOIIy 」 acobs. PATCHWORK LAWS While 38 states now have laws against revenge porn, manyofthose laws applydif- ferentstandards. And unlike crimes in which thevictim and perpetrator have a physical encounter, nonconsensual porn can be spread across state lines, creating a tangle Of differentjurisdictions and com- peting laws. U. S. Representa- tive 」 ackie Speier has drafted a federal bill meantto fixthis patchwork Of state measures. ロ 胚し EQU 旧 PED POLICE Few locallaw-enforcement agencies have a sophisticated understanding Ofthe impact Of revenge porn or the technologicaltools tO address it. When Kara 」 efts filed reports in New York, some police "would say, ℃ hjust delete that, don'tlet it bother you,' ” she recalled. Even if they dO take the crime seriously, in many cases C 引 police can't effectively collect digital evidence. TECHNOLOGICAL REALITY Once something is on the lnternet, it's nearly impossible tO erase it. WhiIe many social- media platforms and porn websites have become more cooperative about removing content that was shared without consent, there's no guarantee that those phOtOS haven't spread elsewhere online. "GeneraIIy speaking, the lnternet is permanent," says Reg Harnish, CEO Of GreyCastIe Security. 1
nation's longtime leader, Paul Kagame. Sexual violation, in short, has be- come digital as well as physical. And its rapid spread has le 仕 law enforcement, tech companies and offcials scrambling tO catch up. When evidence lives in the cloud and many laws are stuck ⅲ the pre- smartphone era, nonconsensual porn presents a worst-case scenario: it'S easy tO disseminate and nearly impossible tO punish. Advocates are trying tO change that, ⅲ part by pushing a congressional bill that would make nonconsensual porn a federal crime. But there are obstacles at every corner, from the technological challenges of fully removing anything from the lnternet, tO the attitude s Of law enforcement, tO the substantive concerns over legislation that could restrict free speech. ln the meantime, ViCtims live in fear Of becoming a 21St century verslon ofHester Prynne. "I have t0 accept at this point that it's going tO continue tO fOllOW me; ” Jefts says. ” lt's kind oflike having an incurable diS ease. JEFTS NEVER THOUGHT ofherselfas the kind ofperson who would send nude pho- tos. She is circumspect and professional— and acutely aware Of the power Of im- ages. But then she met a man whO lived an ocean away, and quickly fell ⅲ love. skype kept the relationship alive, and the pair sent each Other phOtOS and video- chatted in ways that sometimes became sexual. "lfit's World War Ⅱ and your hus- band leaves, you send letters and pictures, you have this correspondence that helps maintain that emotional connection; ” She explains. "lt's more instantaneous [today] because ofthe technology, but the origin Ofit iS the same. some nonconsensual porn comes from pictures that are hacked or taken surreptitiously, in many cases the images were traded between partners as sexts. According tO a 2016 study ofnearly 6 , 000 single adults by researchers at ln- diana University, 16 % had sent a sexual ph0t0, and more than 1 ⅲ 5 had received one. Ofthose whO received a nude image, 23 % reported sharing it with others, with men twice as likely as women tO dO SO. Boomers might be baffled by this practice, but for many under 30 , sexting isn't seen as particularly transgressive. "lt's embedded in modern relationships in a way that makes us feel safe; ” says Sherry Turkle, a professor 0f the social studies Of science and technology at MIT. "This is a question that doesn't nee d an answer if you grew up with a phone in your hand. According t0 Turkle, many digital natives are SO comfortable 0 Ⅱ the lnternet that they s imply imagine that there are fules about what can and can't happen to the content they share. "lf you feel the lnternet is safe, you want tO share everything because it'll make you feel closer and it's a new tOOl , ” she says. 'People made up a contract in their minds about the online spaces they're in. Women sometimes circulate male nudes, but studies show the vast majority Of nonconsensual images are photos Of women spread by men. 100 teens in a rural Virginia county were investigated for circulating more than 1 , 000 nude ph0t0S 0f mostly under- age girls on lnstagram. A C010rad0 dis- trict attorney chOS e not tO bring charge s against teens whO were sharing phOtOS of high schoolers and middle schoolers in 2015. Similar incidents have popped up recently in sch001s in Ohi0, New York and Connecticut, and the practice has become common enough that the Amer- ican Academy 0f Pediatrics developed a guide for parents on talking t0 children about sexting. "Lots Of this isn't intentional says Erica Johnstone, a San Francisco attorney with a practice dedicated tO sexual privacy. "lt'sjust part 0fthe hyper- masculine culture: sex pictures become like currency. 'These were images thatl t00k underthe assumption that it was a CO 咄 nsu 乢 private reIationship.The t 盟 in whichthey were 曲呼 d their meaning. R JEFTS, revenge-porn victim When accused, some men say they were hacked and the photos must be coming from another source. Others admit that they posted the ph0tos out 0f anger, lashing out over a perceived slight. One Louisiana tattOO artist tOld police he posted a sex tape Of his ex on a porn site as retribution after she damaged his car. A Minnesota man reportedly admitted putting explicit images Of his ex-wife on Facebook because he was jealous 0f her new boyfriend. The act of sharing these images can be as much about impressing Other men as it is about humiliating the vic- tim. BOYS once presented stOlen under- wear as trophies from conquests—now, a nude selfie can signal the same thing. AS a result, s chOOls around the nation have dealt with what are often referred tO as sexting rings. ln 2014 , more than ONAN OTHERWISE ordinary day in 2011 , HoIIy Jacobs decided to Google herself. a porn Site came up in her search results, JaCObs went intO what she now describes as "a complete state Of ShOCk. I could feel the blood rushing out 0f my head. I was turning white as the p age was buffering. She would S00 Ⅱ learn that ph0t0S Of her were posted on nearly 200 porn sites. A collage 0f nude images had been sent tO her bOSS and co-workers. Explicit pictures Ofher were shared with her father on Faceb00k. She says she almost lost her job at a Florida college after someone online accused her Of masturb ating with students there, and she eventually stopped working as a statistical consultant because ' every time I met with a client, I wondered ifthey had seen me naked. ' 59
"I never thought this kind ofviolation was happening t0 everyday people; ” says Jacobs, wh0 originally sent the photos t0 someone she knew and trusted. "I didn't realize there was a market for naked photos ofpeople nobody knows. ” Jacobs says she was diagnosed with depression and PTSD, and became afraid to meet new people for fear that they would find the photos. "lt was a living nightmare; ” she says. "I kept being rejected by police, the attorneys, the FBI because they kept saying there was nothing they could do. ” Now ⅲ her 30S , Jacobs ended up le- gally changing her name t0 escape her online footprint. But she also de- cided to fight back. She started CCRI, a nonprofit devoted tO helping victims Of nonconsensual porn reclaim their worse: this type Of violation can leave a lasting digital stain, one that is nearly impossible t0 fully erase. "Once the images and videos have been exposed or published, the lnternet is permanent; ” says Reg Harnish, the CEO ofcyber-risk assessment firm GreyCastle Security, wh0 worked with Kara Jefts t0 successfully remove most Of her phOtOS. But even if you get an image scrubbed 仕 om one site, there's no way tO guarantee it hasn't been copied, screenshotted or stored in a cache somewhere. "There are literally hundreds of things working against an individual working tO remove a specific piece Of content from the lnternet,: ” he says. "lt's almost impossible. When victims seek help from law enforcement, they rarely get an effective response. "This is a case they put at the 'The intent 0f perpetratoris i e Ⅷい e Whetherhe's doing it forjollies money, it's destroying 惻 t 慚 person'slife.' JACKIE SPEIER, し S. Representative identities. Since they launched the help line in 2014 , more than 5 , 000 victims have called CCRI, Jacobs says, adding that the group now gets between 150 and 200 calls a month. "I didn't do anything wrong; ” she says. "There's nothing wrong with sharing nude images With someone I trust, SO something needs tO be done about this. ” Many victims think the moment they see their nude photos online is the worst part 0f their ordeal. Then they start having awkward conversations with bosses, fielding relatives' questions about obscene social-media posts and getting strange lOOks from co-workers. lt becomes impossible to know who has seen your photos, and what they think 0f you if they have. And when these victims start trying tO get the pictures taken down, they realize something even 60 TIME July 10 ー 17 , 2017 bottom Of the stack,: ” says Johnstone, WhO represents ViCtims Of revenge porn. “ They think that the victim was asking for it because they created the content that got the m intO the s ituation. They think they're not as deserving Of police hours as someone WhO was the victim Ofa physical assault. ” Jefts says she filed six police reports in three different counties in New York (where she was living at the time) and got several restraining orders against her ex, but legal remedies were futile. Police of- ficers often didn't know how to handle digital crimes, and even if they sympa- thized with her predicament, they said there was nothing they could do because her ex no longer lived in the same state or even the same country,. The restrain- ing orders had "zero impact," she says, and the haras sment continued until she sought help from tech experts like Har- nish tO get the phOtOS removed from some sites and buried in search results. AS A RESULT Of growlng awareness and increased pressure from victims and advocates, the number ofstates with a law addressing revenge porn hasjumped from three tO 38 since 2013. But the statutes are inconsistent and riddled with blind spots, which make them particularly diffcult to enforce. "There are no state laws across the U. S. that fit perfectly together; ” says Elisa D'Amico, a Miami lawyer and co-founder ofthe Cyber Civil Rights Legal Project. "lt depends on Where your ViCtim iS, where your perpetrator iS, Where someone was when they viewed pictures. One Of the biggest inconsistencies among state laws is the way they treat motive. Some states criminalize nonconsensual porn only if there iS "intent tO harass; ” a targeted campaign tO debase and humiliate the victim, as with Jefts. But in many cases, like the Marine photo-sharing scandal, the distribution of images intended tO harass, because the victims were never supposed tO know that their pictures had been shared. According to CCRI's June survey 0f 3 , 000 Faceb00k users, 79 % of those who acknowledged spreading a s exually explicit image Of someone else said they did not intend tO cause any harm. To those who have had their most intimate moments exposed on SOCial media, such thinking misses the point. "These were images that I took under the assumption that it was a consensual, private relationship,: ” says Jefts, who has devoted her career t0 studying the ways images are disseminated and interpreted. "The context in which they were shared changed their meaning. That trumps their original intentio n. TO address the legal patchwork, U. S. Representative Jackie Speier is plan- ning t0 reintroduce a bill in July t0 make nonconsensual porn a federal crime— regardless 0f whether the suspect in- tended tO harass the victim. "The intent Of the perpetrator is irrelevant, really," says Speier, a Democrat whose district in- cludes parts 0f San Francisco. "Whether he's doing it for jollies or money, it's de- stroymg another person's life. ” Facebook and Twitter have backed her bill, called

With an American child, he was asked instead tO check in with lmmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regularly, where offcers would review his 61e and grant him temporary permission tO stay in the country.

The first few seasons' worth ofswordplay and gowns turned the shOW's cast intO recognizable stars. But it's the complexity of their characters, revealed over time, that made them intO icons.

There's been an envy, because he was born with privilege just for being a man. I think their love was built on respect. ” Nik01aj Coster-Waldau, the Danish actor who plays Jaime, is a bit less excited tO discuss the sub- ject. "l've never really gone too deep into the whole sister-brother thing because I can't use that infor- 引 mation. I have tO lOOk at her as the woman he loves and desires.
