5.10.2. Sexual Exploitation

Sexual exploitation occurs when a person takes non-consensual or abusive sexual advantage of another for personal benefit, or to benefit anyone other than the person being exploited, and that behavior does not otherwise constitute one of the preceding 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; 
• Engaging in non-consensual voyeurism; 
• Knowingly transmitting an STI, such as HIV, to another without disclosing one’s STI status; 
• Exposing one’s genitals in non-consensual circumstances, or inducing another to expose their genitals; 
• Possessing, distributing, viewing or forcing others to view illegal pornography; 
• Inducing incapacitation for sexual purposes includes using, or causing another person or person to use drugs, alcohol, or other means with the intent to affect the ability of an individual to consent or refuse to consent (as “consent” is defined in this Policy) to sexual contact, regardless of whether prohibited sexual contact actually occurs.
