Charged with Revenge Porn in New Jersey? We Can Help.

If you’ve been accused of sharing intimate images or videos of someone without their consent, you could be facing serious criminal charges under New Jersey’s “revenge porn” law (N.J.S.A. 2C:14-9).

In New Jersey, it’s a crime to post or share private, sexually explicit content of another person—even if they consented to being recorded—if the other party did not agree to it being shared.  This is generally one person's word against others as very few people have their partner, girlfriend or other sign a release before filming.  The law targets situations where the intent is to harass, embarrass, or harm the other person.

What You Need to Know:

You can be charged with "Disclosure of Invasive Visual Recording" if:

  1. You shared or posted an intimate photo or video of someone;
  2. That person was nude or engaged in a sexual act;
  3. They did not consent to the image being shared;
  4. And the image was shared with the intent to annoy, harm, or harass.

Even if the recording was originally consensual—like in a relationship—sharing it later without permission can lead to criminal charges.

What Are the Penalties?

Most revenge porn cases are charged as a third-degree crime in New Jersey, which can carry:

  1. 3 to 5 years in prison
  2. Fines up to $30,000

In less serious cases, it may be charged as a fourth-degree crime, still punishable by up to 18 months in prison and fines up to $10,000.

We Know How to Defend These Cases and Get you the Best Result:

Revenge Porn like any other criminal charge can damage your reputation, relationships, and career—but being charged doesn’t mean you’re guilty. At our firm, we:

  1. Analyze whether intent can be proven
  2. Examine whether the person had a reasonable expectation of privacy
  3. Look for evidence mishandling or procedural errors on the part of the State
  4. Fight to get the charges Won, Reduced,or Dismissed!

Invasion of Privacy is a Similar But Generally a Downgraded Offense of Revenge Porn

Under New Jersey Statute 2C:14-9, invasion of privacy can be charged as:

  • A fourth-degree crime
  • A third-degree crime (in more serious cases commonly the revenge porn cases)

The degree depends on factors such as:

  • The type of image or recording
  • Whether the image was distributed
  • The age of the alleged victim
  • Prior criminal history

Penalties for Invasion of Privacy in NJ
