When ***ually explicit images surface on the Internet without at least one party's consent, they often bounce around from site to site, and there's often **t much the victim can do about it.*
The victims — predominantly women — can't threaten legal action against websites that host the images. In many states, they can't threaten legal action against whoever put the images online, either. Oftentimes the images don't even belong to them — someone else took the photos, perhaps, so the victim of the violation doesn't own the copyright.
