Relates to adding transmission of unwanted lewd or intimate images to the definition of aggravated harassment in the second degree

This bill would expand New York's definition of "aggravated harassment in the second degree" to include sending unwanted intimate photos or videos with the intent to harass, annoy, threaten, or alarm someone, and without a legitimate communication purpose. It directly affects individuals who transmit such images without consent for malicious reasons. The key provision requires both the harmful intent and the absence of a valid reason for the communication. If enacted, this would make such transmissions a specific criminal offense under the state's harassment laws.
