Break-ups are usually not easy, but when an angry ex-lover gets revenge by posting intimate pictures of you online, it can be devastating.
It's called "revenge porn," and there are entire websites that cater to angry ex-lovers, allowing them to post private photos online for the world to see.
Now, a new bill proposed in Tallahassee would officially make it a crime in Florida.
Amber Broche said it was a mistake to give her boyfriend of three years provocative pictures of herself.
"I regret it to the fullest. That is a dumb mistake I made," said Broche. "We broke up. He got mad and posted it."
Right now, the Orange County Sheriff's Office explains unless you can prove cyberstalking or extortion, it's not a crime if a victim gave an ex-lover the pictures.
But lawmakers, like State Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs, said more needs to be done to stop this.
"In many instances, these have been picked up by revenge porn sites that require the person that is the victim to pay money in order to have it removed," said Simmons, who represents Florida Senate District 10, which covers Seminole and southern Volusia County. "Just the click of a key can cause destruction of a person's life."
That's why Simmons created Senate Bill 532 ▼, which would make posting sexually explicit pictures without someone's consent a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida.
"Unfortunately, the law does not keep up with technology," Simmons said.
As a victim, Broche offered advice on how to keep revenge porn from possibly happening to you.
"You live and you learn off of it," said Broche. "I wouldn't advise anyone to take negative pictures, no nude pictures, because you don't know what they are going to do with them."
If SB 532 passes, it would go into effect Oct. 1, 2014. The State Senate Criminal Justice Committee is currently reviewing the bill, which was proposed Tuesday as Florida's 2014 Legislative Session got underway.
