PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — State lawmakers are looking to make it a crime to post explicit photos of ex-spouses or romantic partners as a way of humiliating them.Lawmakers preparing for the 2014 session of the General Assembly are pitching legislation that would make so-called revenge porn a felony punishable by jail time and a fine.
The term revenge porn refers to sexually explicit photos or video of a person that is posted online without his or her consent, often by an angry ex-partner. One of the lawmakers behind the bill, Sen. Erin Lynch, D-Cranston, said it's a problem she learned about through her work as a divorce attorney.
Lynch said tough criminal penalties might make someone think twice before posting a damaging photo.
"Someone could be the most important person in your life one day and then six months later there can be so much hatred and venom that something like this happens," she said. "It could be the most embarrassing thing in your life."
Lynch said the legislation will be carefully crafted to ensure it doesn't potentially run afoul of constitutional protections on free speech. Rep. Donald Lally, D-South Kingstown, plans to introduce the bill in the House.
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin's office first proposed the legislation a few years ago as part of a larger package of bills relating to the Internet. It never received a vote.
Another bill being pushed by Kilmartin would make it a felony for an adult to send sexually explicit material electronically to a minor. Kilmartin spokeswoman Amy Kempe said some people looking to prey sexually on minors will send them explicit images as a way of cultivating a relationship.

You stupid, fucking Mexican. Always taking, stealing, food and stories. Fuck you, you fucked-up fucking fucker! GODDAM YOU!
The Julie bill.
Is this bill to protect the cheaters and adulterer mongers like the Sucios, Rene, Rick, Luis et all?
Would this cover ridiculous BISD meetings? I have never tried so hard to read the garbage they speak. They ALL sound so ghetto and senile. They couldn't make one complete thought or finish a complete sentence. We are screwed!!!!!! They should be ashamed of how pathetic they ALL sound. Bola de burro/as. Do any of these people have more than an elementary level of education? I didn't think so!!!!!!!
Esa vieja Julie nalgona (pero no son pompis, son puras lonjas enredadas en una faja del centro) me recuerda a Monica Lewinski. Ella es la que quedo mal y al Bill Clinton ya todo mundo lo perdono y anda como si nada hubiera pasado.
It's not placed in Texas. Next Lol!
El pendejo es el, que se dejo tomar esa foto comprometedora. El es la figura publica, no? Si bien recuerdo Bill Clinton ya iba de salida con su presidencies y no necesitaba que la genet votara por el. Verguenza es lo que debe tener mas bien.
Thanks for the idea. I have some VERY raunchy pics of my ex-wife. Now I know what to do with them.

What is Rick teaching our children and the community as a commish?
He teaches pregnant girls and is setting a fine example, that it's ok to get knocked up. What a way to be famous and to think that his own daughter and her school friends will also see his disturbing picture. What was he thinking Oh wait he wasn't it was his dick. Rick the dick with the sword
She did the same to her husband when he got back to rick she was a married woman still what comes around goes around so why all the fuss
