Tauranga woman distributes OnlyFans content belonging to ex-husband’s new wife (www.rnz.co.nz)

This is quite a strange one for me, the content that was shared was created by the new wife and uploaded to OnlyFans herself, it was there to be found already.

I'm quite surprised this is considered such a serious act.

Well, she took screenshots and sent them to relatives and friends of the ex-husband's new wife. It's the doxxing they're on about, or?

However, he said this wasn't a case where the material had been accessed illegally, or where the defendant had been involved in the production of the material.

"This is imagery created by the victim for sale," Nabney said.

He also said the offending happened "in the context of extremely bitter proceedings in the family court".

Yeah, but I wouldn't have expected merely drawing their attention to it would be such a serious matter.

I wonder what would have happened if she had sent materiel that wasn't sexually explicit? Would merely telling people about the OnlyFans account have been enough?

Drawing attention to it does not require screenshots or so though a link to the profile would do.

Yeah, I wonder if sharing a link counts as distribution?

This is something i didn't read before, because it's only the caption of an image in the article:

The charges the ex-wife faced for sharing explicit images from the OnlyFans account of her ex-husband's new wife were made under the Harmful Digital Communications Act.

So, taking sexually explicit images from their account and sharing them counts, but would merely linking to the content be enough?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They would need to register first and subscribe to the channel. Maybe what she did, counts as extra-vindictive, because most wouldn't take those steps. She went an extra step of spending money of her own, to be able to take the screenshots.

Just out of my head, i would say that just sending a link to the content, probably wouldn't have had the same effect. It would depend on how tech savvy the recipient is in this case. Sending screenshots is the best way to have the maximum impact and fuck things up quickly.

She knew that.

If I remember correctly it counts for defamation and name suppression laws, but in this case since the link would just be to OPs own content it probably wouldn't.

It might still be charged under the act though, as bullying, but I am not a lawyer.

Neither am I.

I'd love to have an actual legal professional weigh in on this.

Linking would require the viewer to set up an account, log in and then pay to see the images.
