Leslie Moore Mira v. Argus Media, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 17-1929 · judgment September 25, 2018
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
An estimated 10 million or 4% of US internet users have been threatened with or experienced the posting of explicit intimate images without their consent. The consequences for the subject can devastate and create extreme emotional distress. Forty-five states and Washington, DC, have enacted or proposed laws penalizing the nonconsensual dissemination of sexually graphic images. Questions presented are: Does such misconduct by an employer constitute a Title VII violation and create a prima facie hostile and discriminatory workplace? Did the Second Circuit and district court err in case dismissal?
