A jury in Texas has awarded a woman US $1.2 billion after it ruled that she was the victim of revenge porn.
The woman, who was identified only by the initials DL in court documents, filed a harassment lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend in 2022.
In the lawsuit, she alleged that he had posted intimate pictures of her online to “publicly shame” her after their break-up.
Her lawyers in the case described the ruling as a win for victims of “image-based sexual abuse”.
