 3 5. It shall not be a defense to any criminal action brought against an
 4 individual pursuant to this section that such dissemination or publica-
 5 tion of an intimate image is protected by a right to free speech, where
 6 the prosecution has established beyond a reasonable doubt that, at the
 7 time of dissemination, the defendant knew or should have known that the
 8 subject of the image had a reasonable expectation of privacy and did not
 9 consent to the release of such image.

 11 subdivision 6-a to read as follows:
 12 6-a. It shall not be a defense to any civil action brought against an
 13 individual pursuant to this section that such dissemination or publica-
 14 tion of an intimate image is protected by a right to free speech, where
 15 the plaintiff has established by a preponderance of the evidence that,
 16 at the time of dissemination, the defendant knew or should have known
 17 that the subject of the image had a reasonable expectation of privacy
 18 and did not consent to the release of such image.
 19 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
