Legislators moved to change Utah’s revenge porn laws prompted by the death of University of Utah athlete Lauren McCluskey (Steve C. Wilson | University of Utah via the Associated Press).
The Utah State Legislature is considering amendments to revenge porn laws following the discovery of police misconduct related to the death of University of Utah athlete Lauren McCluskey.
McCluskey was killed in October 2018 by her ex-boyfriend Shawn Rowland after she found out he was lying about his criminal record and his age. Prior to her death, explicit photos of McCluskey were held as blackmail, with Rowland demanding money in order to prevent them from being shared. Days later, Rowland killed McCluskey on campus.
