Perhaps, but in a situation like this there would have to be some forensic investigation, usually involving looking into login information for the accounts in question. If there is an IP that logged in at the time the leak happened on both the Instagram (where the video was sent) and the YouTube account (that told Chris to open it) then Ralph would have a decent chance of making the case that he didn't release it and, in fact, he was hacked. The prosecution would pay for it, too, because no elected politician wants to be seen as "not helping abused women". If the investigation came back and showed that, yes, Ralph was the only one to log into the account at that time then Ralph's going to plead out because he can't go in front of a jury, he'd never win.
