Have you or a loved one been the victim of Image-based sexual harassment? At work? Over the Internet? We used to call this disturbing thing REVENGE PORN.

Trial Attorney jeff Wertz is presently handling what may be one of the largest cases currently in the nation involving the non-consensual mass dissemination of intimate photographic images in the federal court in Pittsburgh, PA.

We seek remedies in both the CRIMINAL and CIVIL courts on behalf of victims…KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

The U.S. Congress enacted the Civil Action Relating to Disclosure of Intimate Images Act in 2022, creating a first-of-its-kind federal civil right: the ability for revenge porn victims to sue in federal court. This law—codified at 15 U.S.C. § 6851 and effective as of October 1, 2022—empowers survivors to seek emergency injunctive relief, monetary damages, and attorney’s fees.  If even minimal damages are established, the statute calls for a minimum award of $150,000 in a successful case, plus costs and fees.

Under the new federal law, a U.S. District Court can:

• Issue emergency injunctive relief to protect victims
• Use contempt powers to enforce compliance
• Allow victims to proceed anonymously when necessary
• Assert jurisdiction over online and cross-state abuse

Please contact us to have a confidential and discreet review of your situation…the laws of this nation are finally catching-up with the technology and victims are now getting their day in court…can I help you?  let’s see if I can.
