Sue VOYEURS Act

# Sue VOYEURS Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Sue VOYEURS Act would create a federal civil lawsuit option for people who are victims of non-consensual intimate imagery (sometimes called "revenge porn"). Specifically, it would allow victims to sue people who distribute intimate photos or videos of them without permission, and would establish legal remedies and damages that victims could seek in federal court. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects people who have had intimate images shared without consent, as well as those who distribute such content. It could also impact social media platforms and websites where this content appears, depending on how liability provisions are structured. **Key Provisions & Current Status** The bill focuses on creating a civil (not criminal) remedy, meaning victims could file lawsuits for monetary damages rather than relying solely on criminal prosecution.

This approach allows individuals to pursue justice and compensation directly. As of now, the bill is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House, meaning it remains in the early stages of the legislative process and has not passed.
