Mariana Amaro Lourenço Ferreira Santos, the Centre’s second fellow, developed her dissertation within the Master’s in Litigation and Arbitration at NOVA School of Law, focusing on the non-consensual sharing of intimate images and its criminal law framework.
WhatNext.Law shares the publication of the thesis entitled “The Non-Consensual Sharing of Real and Manipulated Sexual Images: Legal Analysis and Proposal for Legislative Reform”.
The work addresses the growing phenomenon of non-consensual dissemination of sexual images, including content manipulated through artificial intelligence, analysing the challenges these practices pose to Portuguese and European criminal law. The author examines the existing legal framework, identifies gaps in the protection of victims, and proposes legislative solutions to ensure a more effective and digitally adapted legal response .
