Rob Kardashian could face criminal charges for posting a series of explicit photos of his former fiancée Blac Chyna on Twitter according to legal experts.
The since-deleted photos, some of which Kardashian re-shared several times as Instagram removed them from the website, showed Chyna’s nude body.
Kardashian, the son of the late Robert Kardashian, was suspended from the site after also sharing a string of posts accusing Chyna of cheating on him, taking advantage of him financially and taking drugs. ‘The saga played out in front of the tens of millions who follow the pair on social media.
Chyna’s lawyer has now said she may be preparing for a legal battle and is considering all options at her disposal.
“We are considering all legal options and recourses at this time,” Chyna’s lawyer, Walter Mosley, told the press.
In California, where Kardashian lives, revenge porn is a criminal offence and it is illegal to intentionally distribute “the image of the intimate body part or parts of another identifiable person”.
The penalty is up to six months in prison and a $1,000 (£770) fine. A number of legal experts have said Kardashian may have potentially violated the state’s revenge porn laws.
