Can Crime Victims Sue for Dissemination & Publication of their Personal Image in NYS?

Any crime victim who was depicted in a still or video image, which was disseminated or published, will soon be able to sue the disseminator or publisher for injunctive relief, punitive damages, compensatory damages and reasonable court costs and attorneys' fees. 


The law, Civil Rights Law 52-b (S7211B) has passed the NYS Congress and only needs to be signed by the Governor to be enacted.
