Intimate Images Protection Act, tort of distributing an intimate image without consentin force5 lines

S.N.L. 2018, c. I-22 · Read the law's page

  • Do not distribute an intimate image of another person, by publishing, transmitting, selling, advertising or otherwise making it available to anyone other than the person depicted, without that person's consent (ss. 3, 4(1)).
  • Do not distribute an intimate image where you know the person depicted did not consent or are reckless as to whether the person consented (s. 4(2)).
  • Do not rely on the person having consented to the recording or having given you the image: the person keeps the expectation of privacy where you knew or ought reasonably to have known that the person did not consent to further distribution (s. 6).
  • Be ready to establish reasonable grounds to believe that you had ongoing consent to distribute an intimate image, because once an action is commenced non-consent is presumed (s. 7).
  • Do not publish or make public the names of the parties to an action for non-consensual distribution, or information that may identify them, until the court decides whether to order a publication ban, and never publish the name or identifying information of a party who is under the age of majority (s. 10(1), (3)).
