Increased Accountability for Nonconsensual Pornography Act of 2025

This bill amends the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, to strengthen legal recourse for victims of nonconsensual disclosure of intimate images. It modifies the existing framework by expanding the scope of what constitutes an intimate image or related conduct, specifically including "an identifiable individual engaging in sexually explicit conduct." The amendment also clarifies the state of mind of the individual depicted by inserting "competent" into the relevant section. A key provision of this legislation is the substantial increase in potential financial penalties for offenders. The maximum statutory damages available in civil actions for such disclosures will rise from $150,000 to $500,000 , aiming to provide greater accountability and deterrence for those who share intimate images without consent.
