In this episode, we delve into the shocking case of Benjamin Jay Barber, one of the first individuals convicted under Oregon’s groundbreaking ‘revenge porn’ law, House Bill 2596. This pivotal 2016 case highlights the devastating impact of nonconsensual pornography and the urgent need for stronger protections against the weaponization of intimate content. Barber’s sentence—six months in jail and five years probation—became a legal landmark but also revealed troubling gaps in enforcement, raising critical questions about why perpetrators like Barber often evade classification as sex offenders.
Caitlyn critiques societal norms and legal blind spots, exploring why our systems struggle to balance free speech and human decency. Beyond Barber’s case, we examine broader cultural and legal failures, from the Beaverton up-skirt photo case to the systemic issues that allow predators to thrive. Together, we dissect the devastating consequences of these crimes, the justice system’s shortcomings, and the patriarchy’s role in perpetuating these abuses.
