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.

Distributing explicit images of someone without their consent is distributing explicit images of someone without their consent at the end of the day.
I wouldn’t like to see precedent where the courts start saying the context in which the image was originally produced somehow makes it fair game, because where is that line exactly?
It wasn’t unreasonable for the victim to assume her own parents are never going to see her paywalled and copyrighted OF content. It was malicious and deliberately harmful use of a digital communication.
I disagree with your last point, regional restrictions are trivially easy to bypass, and it’s entirely possible someone else could have found her content and alerted them.
She should have known this was a possibility, although it was definitely a malicious act on the part of the ex.
That’s a fair point. But they didn’t just “alert” them - they distributed.
I’m not even legally allowed to copy stuff off TVNZ On Demand and redistribute it, even though it was intended for a much wider audience than this person’s OF.
Personally I’m happy for revenge porn laws to be fairly draconian on principle. Otherwise it starts feeling like asking assault victims “but what were you wearing”.
But how far should that consent exert its authority?
If this was anything other than nudes then totally different laws would apply.
Ie. if it was a terribly embarrassing non-pornographic film that woman sold it online. You put yourself online doing something you didn’t want family to see and now your upset. At best I would imagine she could claim it was piracy.
But because it’s pornographic, she’s suddenly allowed full authority over her works? In my opinion she gave up that right when she sold it for commercial gain.
If anyone else with a modicum of fame turned around and went “yeah I didn’t want my professional porn redistributed, here’s every website with my tits on it that did a crime” they would be laughed at.
