The Increased Accountability for Nonconsensual Pornography Act of 2025 strengthens federal law against the non-consensual sharing of intimate images by amending existing protections in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. The bill expands the definition of prohibited conduct to include sharing images of identifiable individuals engaged in sexually explicit activity, and clarifies that perpetrators must act with knowledge of what they are doing. Most significantly, the legislation increases the maximum civil penalty that victims can recover from perpetrators from $150,000 to $500,000 per violation, giving victims stronger financial recourse. The bill directly affects individuals whose intimate images are shared without consent and holds those who distribute such images to greater accountability through increased damages awards.
