An Act relative to the identity of victims of certain crimes

This bill expands the list of crimes for which a victim's identity must remain confidential in Massachusetts. It directly affects cases involving the dissemination of obscene material to minors, posing children in states of nudity, possessing child pornography, and photographing or surveilling individuals in a state of nudity. By adding these specific offenses to existing laws, the legislation ensures that victims of these acts are protected from public identification during legal proceedings. The changes apply to reports filed under one statute and arrest or complaint records under another, reinforcing privacy protections for those harmed by these specific crimes.
