ACTION MORE
.
>>> TONIGHT, THERE'S A BRAND-NEW
TWIST IN THE DISTURBING PROBLEM
OF REVENGE PORN.
NOT ONLY POSTED ON PORN SITES
WITHOUT CONSENT, NOW, CLAIMS OF
PHOTOS SOLD FOR CASH AND EVEN
ILLICIT DRUGS.
>> OUR 13 INVESTIGATES REPORTS,
A PETITION FOR LAWMAKERS TO TAKE
ACTION IMMEDIATELY.
>> HERE IT SAYS, BUMP, LET'S SEE
WHEN, ANOTHER ONE, BUMP, BUMP,
BUMP.
>> SOME VIEWERS CAN'T GET
ENOUGH.
THEY WANT THE POST BUMPED OR
BROUGHT BACK, SOMETIMES FOR
OTHERS.
>> SO BUMP MEANS --
>> BUMP IS REFERRING TO COCAINE.
>> BUT THIS ISN'T YOUR TYPICAL
DRUG DEAL.
NO, THIS SITE IS PEDDLE
NO, THIS SITE IS PEDDLING IS
SOMETHING ELSE.
CAN RANGE FROM CASH TO ILLEGAL
DRUGS.
>> $10 BILL, QUESTION MARK?
OFFERING $10 FOR SOMEONE
>> CATERINA STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
IT.
SHE DISCOVERED THE SITE AFTER A
FRIEND ALERTED HER TO
PROVOCATIVE PHOTOS OF A
RELATIVE.
THAT FAMILY MEMBER ADMITTED TO
SHARING NUDE PHOTOS WITH A
BOYFRIEND, A BOYFRIEND WHO IS
NOW AN X.
CATERINA BELIEVES HE'S USING THE
PRIVATE IMAGES TO SETTLE A
SCORE, WHILE CASHING IN ON THEM
AT THE SAME TIME.
>> THEY'RE ASKING FOR A LIST OF
GIRLS --
>> THEY'RE ACTUALLY BARTERING
FOR IMAGES.
>> YEAH, THEY'RE BARTERING DRUGS
AND MONEY, AND WHATEVER, FOR
JUST THESE IMAGES OF WOMEN.
>> WEEKS AGO, 13 INVESTIGATES
FIRST INTRODUCED YOU TO
18-YEAR-OLD COLLEEN, WHO SPOKE
OUT ABOUT THE IMPACT OF REVENGE
PORN HERE IN INDIANA.
SHE DISCOVERED A PHOTO SHE
POSTED TO SNAPCHAT, COPIED AND
POSTED ON A SIMILAR SITE, IMAGES
USED LIKE TRADING CARDS.
SHE SAID THE SAME THING IS
HAPPENING WITH PHOTOS OF TEENS
AND WOMEN FROM HER HOMETOWN, NEW
CASTLE.
>> IT SAYS WHO YOU GOT?
I GOT A FEW OLD WINS, WINS
REFERRING TO THE PROVOCATIVE
PICTURES.
THERE'S THREADS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
GIRLS.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
>> WHAT FRUSTRATES CATERINA MOST
IS THE GAP IN LAW 13
INVESTIGATES UNCOVERED.
38 STATES HAVE LAWS ON THE BOOKS
AGAINST POSTING WITHOUT CONSENT.
BUT NOT INDIANA.
>> THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WE
COULD DO.
>> SO CATERINA STARTED AN ONLINE
PETITION TO DO HER PART TO HELP
BRING ABOUT CHANGE.
>> THIS IS KIND OF OUR ONLY HOPE
RIGHT NOW.
>> THE WORD IS GETTING OUT.
SUPPORTERS ARE SIGNING ON.
>> IT'S DISTURBINGLY DISGUSTING.
IT IS A REAL DANGER TO A VICTIM
AS IT ENCOURAGES STALKING,
HARASSMENT AND POSSIBLE VIOLENT
CRIMES.
>> SHE SAYS SOME OF THE PHOTOS
SENT TO BOYFRIENDS WERE USED FOR
MISTAKES.
SHE SAID POSTING IMAGES WITHOUT
CONSENT AND TRADING THEM FOR
CASH AND COCAINE, RISES TO
ANOTHER LEVEL.
>> I AM ON A REVENGE PORN WEB
SITE, AND IT IS EMBARRASSING,
AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO
DO.
IT BREAKS MY HEART THAT THESE
PEOPLE --
>> NEW CASTLE POLICE CHIEF BRAD
KATHERINE SAYS HIS DEPARTMENT IS
WILLING TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT
THE ALLEGATIONS OF ILLICIT DRUG
ACTIVITY.
STATE REPRESENTATIVE TOM
SAUNDERS WHO SERVED HENRY COUNTY
SAYS HE SUPPORTS THE CONCEPT OF
A LAW THAT WANTS TO INCLUDE
EDUCATION TO STOP INDIVIDUALS
FROM SENDING EXPLICIT PHOTOS TO
BEGIN WITH.

INDIANAPOLIS TOLD US LAST MONTH
