My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina
Ages:
Person X: 18-20
Person Y: 16-18
Person Y and person X are involved in a romantic relationship for 2.5 years. The relationship is consensual, and publicly so. Both sets of parents are aware, and approving of the relationship. The relationship becomes emotionally abusive, person Y begins to display controlling behavoirs while also committing acts of infidelity. Person Y one day takes explicit pictures of themselves, while at the age of 16. Person Y tells Person X that they want to send them, but person X fears the legal ramifications, and declines. Person Y then threatens to end the relationship. Person X eventually acquiesces and recieves the pictures. Immediately, person X deletes the pictures, and tells person Y to never put them in that situation again, and to never take any pictures. Person Y continues to WANT to take pictures, not only of herself, but this time of them during intercourse (which aside from photographing it, is legal, as they are both of age and consenting). Person X draws the line, and DOES NOT allow it to happen, despite constant, relentless pressure from Person Y (threats of breaking up, etc).
Eventually, person Y breaks up with person X, and leaves them for someone else. Person X cuts contact and tries to move on. Months later, when person X has moved on to a new relationship, Person Y begins to threaten to notify police about the exchange of the picture, unless person Y breaks up with their new partner. Person Y, in fear of their life being ruined by such a charge, breaks up with their new partner. Person Y has their demand satisfied, and then continues to date other people. Each time person X begins a new relationship, it comes to an abrupt halt as soon as person Y finds out about it, and threatens to "ruin their life", forcing person X to break it off.
Person Y wants for person X to be alone, and is using the threat of notifying police as a means of controlling person X. Person X has a clean criminal record. Person X cannot escape the control of person Y.
