Someone found it on Recurbate, which to my understanding she did not upload it to, as they had been livestreaming on Chaturbate. Someone else recorded it and uploaded it to Recurbate, which is a paid service (which she presumably did not consent to). If they can show that someone was publicizing it with the intent to harass her politically, presumably that would be the person who gets charged. Possibly the person who provided the screenshots to the Associated Press? Maybe the person who uploaded it to Recurbate? They showed up on Recurbate a month after she announced her candidacy.
Apparently it's a thing...
Yes, this is how internet porn works, once it has been released to the internet, it will be there forever. It's one thing for a 15 year-old to not know that when they are sending pics on snap chat, but 40 year-old adults should understand this. This is a copyright issue, not a revenge porn issue. Although I wouldn't be surprised if buried deep in the chaturbate TOS it says that your live streams can be recorded and shared on other sites.
Did they, though? I'm not so sure that's the case.
The website they posted it on is a public website that requires no log in to view the content. So yes, they consented to release their porn to the public.
