Arizona GOP state senator could face REVENGE PORN charges for sharing X-rated Hunter Biden photos on Twitter

A Republican GOP state senator could face criminal charges for revenge porn after sharing explicit images of Hunter Biden on social media.

Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers retweeted footage of the First Son to her 300,000 followers on Twitter, which included several X-rated images.

Posting online, Rogers – a staunch advocate for former President Trump - said: 'It's all here in black and white. Oh, and apparently in NBC living color.'

She has since removed the footage and has been warned that her social media post was a 'mistake' by another Republican – who claims she didn't realize the images were in the footage.

Lawyers have also warned that by posting the X-rated images, she could find herself in hot water legally.

Tom Ryan told Arizona's Family: 'It's not a defense if she later took them down, which appears she has done.

'Any more than it would be a defense if you robbed a Circle K and later gave the money back, you don't get to wipe out the robbery.'

He added that she may have even breached Arizona's revenge porn law, which means that intentionally posting a sexual image without consent is a criminal offence.

State Senate President Warren Petersen, released a statement saying: 'Rogers didn't realize those images were in that video until it was brought to her attention, and she immediately removed the video from her feed.'

It is not the first time that Rogers has found herself in hot water, and was last year censured by the state Senate following a pre-recorded speech she made for a white nationalist conference.

During the speech, she called for those she viewed as her 'enemies' to be hung from the gallows.

Rogers recently pushed for legislation that would ban anyone under the age of 18 from accessing porn...

Do legislators have immunity or not? Depends on whether they’re a Democrat or not. GOP? No. This is no way to run a country.

"I don't see how they could argue that ALL of those three criteria apply, especially the second and third items."

One of Sullivan's follow-ons is completely on-point: Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988).

Hunter is a notorious public figure. Rogers could post a Kathy Griffin-style pic of Hunter. Just like Griffin, nothing will ever happen. There is no cheap censorious state law in the US that has ever stood up to Sullivan.

Rogers could have made AI pics of a nude Hunter and posted them without fear. She should put them back up and give the finger to the RINOs who told her to cool it, and tell that shyster -- who appears to be threatening her with lawfare, which is straight-up against the Arizona Bar Code of Ethics ER 4.1-4 -- what goes around comes around.

Cannot believe what a world we live in where people do not have the faintest comprehension of these laws, particularly legislators. What is the point of a Constitutional Republic when no one knows the Constitution or the originalist laws that have been crafted from it, including case law? (Not a complaint directed at you, POF)

Millions of people have died in defense of the Constitution and for what?

"A Republican GOP state senator "

A Bit redundant

It was less offensive than the public nudity of typical faggots at one of their parades.

The pictures aren’t real. It was a Russia set up job. A letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials said so and Joe Biden and the MSM agreed.

So how can it be revenge porn if the pictures are fake?

“shyster — who appears to be threatening her with lawfare, which is straight-up against the Arizona Bar Code of Ethics ER 4.1-4”

We are LONG overdue for the lawfare crowd to be reined in, censured, disbarred, or prosecuted. There can be no justice when lawyers abuse the bar like that. A week or two ago, a lawfare group was threatening all attorneys who would represent President Trump. That is immoral, despicable, and worth of disbarment. And the Dems scream about “threats to democracy.” There can be no greater threat to “democracy” than those who threaten attorneys contemplating representing President Trump.

“Still think the GOP is working for you?”

Vastly more so than Gov Katie Hobbs or AG Kris Mayes!

Stop pretending there is moral equivalence between the Democrats and GOP!

They sure didn’t protect malania when her nude pictures were passed along all over Twitter.

Always think of the people out to get Ms. Rogers, when you see people posting anti-Trump crap here. They are the same.

More Lawfare yay! Probably funded by Brock, as usual.

Sorry, but I can't support a party that refuses to listen to their voters (that's how Trump happened, after all). And yes, most of the GOP pols are just as corrupt as the Democrats - it should be pretty obvious by now.

I don't see how they could argue that ALL of those three criteria apply, especially the second and third items.

I agree entirely.

I don't think you "disclose" an image if you just post a link to where someone else has already posted the image on the interweb. Also, Hunter Biden clearly does not have "a reasonable expectation of privacy" in images that he abandoned at a computer repair shop and that have subsequently been posted all over the interweb.

If the statute can be construed to cover tweeting a link to Hunter Biden's photos, then the statute is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad and must be overturned under the First Amendment.

She’ll likely get more time than any Biden ever will.

It sounds like the statute was poorly written, especially if they can twist it and distort it to their pernicious ends like they are doing.

She should have told them to pound sand and stood her ground. You never want to give into the rabid mob.

Sorry, but what the Dems are doing in Arizona is 1,000 times worse and we cannot correct it via 100% purity.
