Florida Revenge Porn Lawsuit – How to Sue and Remove Images
Florida Revenge Porn Lawsuit: Take Civil Action with Fighter Law
If you’re a victim of revenge porn in Florida, Fighter Law is here to help. Our experienced civil litigation team assists clients across the state in pursuing justice against individuals who unlawfully share private, intimate images or videos. A Florida revenge porn lawsuit gives you the power to demand the removal of your images, seek damages, and hold offenders accountable under both state and federal law.
Understanding Florida’s Revenge Porn Laws
In Florida, the act of distributing non-consensual explicit images is addressed under the Sexual Cyberharassment statute, Florida Statute §784.049. This law makes it illegal to willfully and maliciously post or distribute sexually explicit images of someone without their consent and with the intent to cause them emotional distress.
Key legal points:
- First offense: First-degree misdemeanor — punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
- Repeat offense: Third-degree felony — up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
- Civil lawsuit option: Victims can sue for damages and request removal of images.
The Take It Down Act and Federal Protection
On May 19, 2025, former President Donald Trump signed the Take It Down Act into law. This act creates a federal remedy for victims of revenge porn and deepfake pornography by:
- Making it a crime to post intimate content without consent — even if the images are AI-generated.
- Requiring websites and platforms to comply with removal requests.
- Giving the Federal Trade Commission authority to enforce takedown compliance.
Florida victims now have both state and federal avenues for legal protection and compensation.
