Yeah.  That's not going to justify revenge porn. 

 

I don't think sending the video back to the person qualifies as "revenge porn" because it is still private. Even if he's charged, the prosecution still has to meet each element of the crime which I don't think they will be able to do.

This is where I get confused. I always thought revenge porn was posting videos for all to see, like Hulk Hogan's unsuspecting sex tape

The legal definition of nonconsensual pornography

Under Penal Code 647(j)(4) PC, the legal definition of revenge porn/nonconsensual pornography is as follows:

  1. You have an image of the intimate body part of another identifiable person, or an image of that person engaged in sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation or masturbation;
  2. You intentionally distribute that image;
  3. There was an understanding between you and that person that the image would remain private;
  4. You know or should know that the distribution of the image will cause the person serious emotional distress; and
  5. The person depicted suffers serious emotional distress.5

The dictionary definition may not be the same as the legal definition in California, and if there is not a precise legal definition, they would have to go by how the courts have defined distribution.

Based on California's law of the definition of statutory rape, 'm not going to try to figure if they take the Webster's Dictionary version of "distribution" literally
