Revenge Porn Laws in Alaska (2026): Your Rights and What to Do

Is Revenge Porn Illegal in Alaska?

Yes, although Alaska places the conduct inside its harassment statute. Section 11.61.120(a)(6) covers publishing or distributing electronic or printed images showing another person’s genitals, anus, female breast, or sexual activity when done with intent to harass or annoy that person. Subsection (a)(8) separately addresses repeatedly sending or distributing certain genital images.

The distribution provision is distinct from section 11.61.123, which covers knowingly viewing or producing an image of another person’s private exposure when that person reasonably expected privacy. Secret production can be a felony depending on the person’s age and the conduct.

Penalties for Sharing Intimate Images in Alaska

Harassment in the second degree is a Class B misdemeanor. The maximum sentence is 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000. Section 11.61.120 does not contain an automatic higher classification for a repeat offense, although a prior record can influence sentencing within the permitted range.

Different penalties apply if an image was secretly produced, depicts a minor, accompanies stalking, or is used for extortion. Those facts should be clearly reported to law enforcement rather than treated as ordinary image sharing.

Can I Sue in Alaska?

Alaska has no dedicated civil NCII statute. Depending on the facts, a person may consider common-law privacy claims or intentional infliction of emotional distress. There is no NCII-specific state guarantee of statutory damages, attorney fees, or the right to proceed under a pseudonym.

The general limitations period for injury to a person’s rights is two years under AS 09.10.070. Federal law may offer a separate civil claim. Because the applicable theory and accrual date can be disputed, an Alaska attorney should assess the deadline.

Does Alaska Law Cover Deepfakes and AI Images?

Coverage under Alaska’s existing intimate-image provisions is uncertain because their language appears to contemplate an actual depiction of another person’s body. Alaska had not enacted a dedicated sexual-deepfake offense by August 2026.

HB 47 proposed broader rules for AI-generated sexual content and passed the House in 2026, but it did not become law. Federal protections may still cover qualifying digital forgeries and platform removal requests.

What to Do Right Now If Your Images Were Shared in Alaska

1. 1

   Preserve the Evidence Before Reporting It

   Save screenshots, URLs, account details, dates, messages, and original files somewhere secure before seeking removal.

2. 2

   Report It Through the Platform’s Intimate-image Route

   Use the dedicated NCII report rather than a general complaint, and retain confirmation details.

3. 3

   Limit Re-uploads

   Adults can use StopNCII.org; use NCMEC’s Take It Down if the image was taken before age 18.

4. 4

   Report the Conduct in Alaska

   Contact police and refer to AS 11.61.120 or AS 11.61.123. Report threats, stalking, extortion, secret recording, or involvement of a minor.

5. 5

   Get Advice About Civil Protection

   Ask an Alaska attorney about privacy torts, protective orders, and federal claims. Alaska has no dedicated state NCII suit, and the general tort period is usually two years.
