It seems like if you knowingly participate in the taking of naked images of yourself, you lose some expectations for privacy... but I haven't really thought it through.
I feel like if you're married with five kids and find yourself over at Aaron Imholte's basement posing nude for him just off camera while he live streams "The Steel Toe Morning Show" you should lose all rights to the image
In my opinion, if you willingly pose for/send the nude, it's no longer yours and the person you sent them to can do with them as they see fit. No different than giving someone a gift. If you are concerned they might spread it around or give it someone else, don't fucking do it to begin with. Simple solution, but it requires personal accountability which is kryptonite to certain demographics.
You guys aren't distinguishing between your own moral views and what the law actually says.
There were pages and pages of extensive discussion on this back when Aaron was charged (and probably at other points as well).
Taking or sharing your nudes with an intimate does not waive your expectation of privacy for those images. In fact, those kinds of images are presumptively private. Your opinions about Kayla's character, the fact that she was a married woman involved with a married man, that she's a bad mother, a benzoed zombie, or a doormat, or the fact she posted herself in lingerie or a back shot of her at Hedo with her top off does not change her reasonable expectations of photos taken by or shared with a lover. Afaik Aaron hasn't even contested that the photo he sent Geno was a private photo. It was; and it was reasonable for her to expect he wouldn't share it with someone she didn't consent to receiving it.
That said, he didn't post it online or share it with a wide group of people. Moreover, Geno did nothing with it; the photo has not been made public at all. So unlike the usual RP situation that involves widespread dissemination, this was a one-off, and - informally since he didn't testify - it went no further, so actual harm is so minimal that that 1 KNU fine seems completely appropriate.
It is rich that Nick is so knight in shining armor now for the wife he "really likes" (almost as much as he "really likes" April...almost), when his own actions and gross public lusting after April (and you know what he's publicly said is the tip of the iceberg) have degraded and, in a sane world, should shame Kayla far more than Aaron being a dumb fuck idiot and - for whatever ill-considered reason - sharing whatever picture that came from a time or circumstance that was intended to be personal. Aaron hasn't done a millionth of the harm to Kayla that Nick's (and her own, but let's keep it to others) behavior and feelings have done.
Taking a step back and hearing Nick's meh-level "I know I hurt people" alongside his blind rage and resentment, and his hellbent-for-leather revenge ideation (and actions) toward/ to Aaron, it suggests that Nick has some idea that a married person has an exalted right to harm their spouse, no consequences but the personal ones. That is definitionally disordered thinking and a very skewed sense of human worth and relationships.
Feminism being dogshit how surprising. Kayla is the product of feminism.
Kayla has nothing to do with feminism, of any flavor,
