TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas lawmakers are weighing legislation that would make it illegal to post photos or videos of a nude person online without his or her consent. Democratic Rep. Sydney Carlin of Manhattan and Republican Rep. Stephanie Clayton of Overland Park introduced bills last session to deter the online phenomenon of “revenge porn.”

Under the legislation, posting of nude materials without a person’s consent could be prosecuted as a potential felony under the state’s blackmail and breach of privacy laws.

Republican Rep. John Barker of Abilene is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He says that panel could vote on whether to advance the bill to the House floor as early as Thursday.
