Now, reviewing the various news reports, one problem with Bentbow's assertion about the law, correct though it may be, is that the image was posted anonymously, and Ms. Dodd (the public relations person for Mr. Barton) has stated that they do not know who posted this image.

Before one may charge a person with 'revenge porn', there must be a party to charge.

It may well be that Mr. Barton posted multiple 'selfies' to multiple people, hence his saying he does not know who is responsible.

Again, Mr. Barton, let this die down on its own.

There is one big name to charge now. But all parties are guilty to a degree here it would appear. Barton will be in trouble as he was clearly soliciting women on the net. The women were sharing the pics among themselves apparently. The party in the most trouble will be "look at me and don't forget to pick up some of my survival gear" Alex Jones. He's the one who put it on the net. It only becomes damaging when the general public can see it.

Coincidentally Jones is from Austin, TX.....Hmmm

(excerpt from MSN this morning)

Besides the recording of the phone call, the woman shared text and social media messages she exchanged with Barton, as well as a 53-second cellphone video Barton recorded of himself while masturbating. The conspiracy theory website Infowars obtained a copy of the video and published it Wednesday night, though the video appeared to have been removed from the site later.

But Barton is still a victim.

Senate Bill 1135 is punishable. $5000 paid to The State of Texas and any restitution awarded to the victim, along with 1 year in jail.
Yeah and?

It's not against the law to share a public news story that includes pics. I'll continue to link the story as I see fit. Nothing the state of Texas can do about that. These moral majority types need to be exposed for the scum they are.

Did you say the same thing when Jennifer Lawrence’s pictures were posted?

Stop whining because one of your party's upstanding Christian government officials is, in reality, nothing more than a dirty old man. Own up to the fact that your moral majority heroes like Barton are hypocrites.

To my knowledge Jennifer Lawrence has never attempted to legislate morality on other people.
