It was a sleeze ball thing to the guy to do....
But as you say, she doesn’t look guilty...
I know I’m a terrible person for saying it might be interesting to take a look at the video....
Its bot about the video. The allegation is that she was taped without her consent. Most states are two way states that require that the person agrees to recording (Think the phone recordings you hear — this call MAY be recorded for quality and training purposes) means that if you proceed you consent to the recording, and anything that is said on it. There are a few one way states — it does not appear South Carolina is once of them.
She was of age, and consented to having sex with her partner. That is her prerogative. She did NOT consent to having it recorded. IF it is true that he threatened to release the video (fruit from the poisonous tree) to keep here in the relationship — now we are talking coercion / extortion / or possibly rape (If you font have sex with me, I will humiliate you).
I do agree that existing law may be present that would allow prosecution of the party who made the video — however we will definitely be on the losing side if somehow we come to the conclusion that the woman taped against her consent (to at least without it) is in the wrong.
Lets apply a little common sense on this one.
