“Without consent, circulating or threatening to distribute an intimate image is a form of sexual violence with traumatic and lasting impacts,” Lore said in an emailed statement. “The non-consensual sharing of images can be a form of intimate partner violence or be used to extort victims for additional images, sex or money.”
The province says legislation could offer a new, efficient method to have images taken down and destroyed, claim compensation from wrongdoers, and stop the initial distribution from occurring. It could also apply to altered images, which are known as deep fakes.

Reminder: Mandatory Reporting for Title IX & Civil Rights
May 3, 2021
Baylor Policy and Texas law requires any employee of a college or university in Texas to report to the Title IX Coordinator any information regarding an alleged incident of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking, committed by or against a person enrolled at or employed by the institution at the time of the incident. This requirement is for all employees with information both direct and indirect to notify the Title IX Coordinator even if you believe someone else has reported the information. Failure to report may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination while violations of the specific law (Texas Senate Bill 212) requires colleges to terminate employment for employees who fail to report such matters and imposes criminal penalties of up to a year in jail.
