It’s illegal in more than 30 states to share explicit images of people without their consent, but not in Ohio.
Members of Aurora’s Police Department are working with State Senator Joe Schiavoni on a bill which would outlaw so-called revenge porn.
The term refers to former romantic partners sharing private pictures or videos in an attempt to get even with the other.

Anyone violating the proposed law could be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony.
The bill would also give victims protection from being discriminated against by universities or workplaces.
