Nobody’s Victim: New York State’s Revenge Porn Law
Thursday, October 3, 2019
6:00 – 7:30PM
1.5 MCLE (Professional Practice)
Description
Victims’ Rights lawyer and author of Nobody’s Victim: Fighting Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs & Trolls, Carrie Goldberg, and Pregnancy Discrimination lawyer, Susan Crumiller will talk about everything employment lawyers need to know about New York State’s new “revenge porn” law. Revenge porn is the nonconsensual distribution of intimate videos and pictures. And it impacts the workplace. Carrie and Susan will provide useful information to attorneys on both the employer and employee side about how this law impacts New York City Human Rights Law’s protections from discrimination for victims of domestic violence, stalking, and sex offenses. They will further discuss reasonable accommodations that victims of revenge porn are entitled to, such as time off related to the abuse. And finally they will talk about the new civil remedies available to victims.
