President Klaus Iohannis promulgated on Wednesday the law which provides that the disclosure, dissemination, presentation or transmission, in any way, of an intimate image of an identified person, without his/her consent, of such a nature as to cause psychological suffering or damage to his/her image, will be punishable by imprisonment from 6 months to 3 years or a fine.
The legislative act aims to supplement Article 226 of Law No 286/2019 on the Criminal Code.
"The disclosure, dissemination, presentation or transmission, in any way, of an intimate image of a person identified or identifiable on the basis of the information provided, without the consent of the person depicted, of such a nature as to cause him/her psychological suffering or to damage his/her image, shall be punishable by imprisonment from 6 months to 3 years or a fine," provides the promulgated law.
The law also establishes what is meant by "intimate image".
It also provides that it will not be treated as a crime if the person captures the commission of a crime or contributes to proving the commission of a crime. AGERPRES
