Sexual exploitation occurs when a person takes non-consensual or abusive sexual advantage of another for anyone’s advantage or benefit other than the person being exploited, and that behavior does not otherwise constitute one of the preceding sexual misconduct offenses. Examples of behavior that could rise to the level of sexual exploitation include:

• Prostituting another person;
• Non-consensual visual (e.g., video, photograph) or audio-recording of sexual activity;
• Non-consensual distribution of photos, other images, or information of an individual’s sexual activity, intimate body parts, or nakedness, with the intent to or having the effect of embarrassing an individual who is the subject of such images or information;
• Going beyond the bounds of consent (for example, an individual who allows friends to hide in the closet to watch him or her having consensual sex);
• Engaging in non-consensual voyeurism;
• Knowingly transmitting an STI, such as HIV to another without disclosing your STI status;
• Exposing one’s genitals in non-consensual circumstances, or inducing another to expose his or her genitals; or
• Possessing, distributing, viewing or forcing others to view illegal pornography.

Sexual exploitation is further defined as a crime in Connecticut State Law.
