Rep. Nancy Mace(@RepNancyMace):Predators weaponizing private images deserve serious jail time. We introduced the Responding to Exploitation and Sharing of Private Explicit Content and Threats (RESPECT) Act to crack down even harder on those who share or threaten to share private explicit images, including revenge p*rn and AI-generated deepfakes. Our bill increases maximum sentences to up to 5 years for adult victims and up to 10 years when the victim is a minor. No more slaps on the wrist. No more free passes. Predators belong behind bars.
