A Kentucky man is in jail accused of uploading pictures of women and young girls to a pornographic website without their consent.

One of the victims is State Representative Samara Hebron.

The Republican from Litchfield says the suspect uploaded more than 18,000 pictures, mostly of people from Grayson County, Kentucky.

We asked her if this incident could lead to new legislation in Frankfort.

I was actually, making dinner on Sunday night.

I received a text message from a friend.

Screenshotting.

The Facebook post, that had been circulating saying that, hey, you might want to check this out to see if you have a photo on here.

I did look and I did find of, several photos of myself.

They were from my personal Facebook page.

It was pictures of, like, me and my mom, at a Broadway show.

Me and my dog from our Christmas card.

It's a really gray area.

Our statute is, our how the law reads that it's not, I don't want to say it's fair game.

But if you post something on the internet, there's not really any laws that protect people from being put on a pornographic website.

Two years ago, we passed legislation that required, users to put in their driver's license numbers, to obtain these websites.

And this was actually a website that did not require that for my first line as a there's a loophole in the law that is a lot of access to these websites.

I really want to have an open conversation.

You know, we can't make policy based on just one specific incident, but I think this allows us the opportunity to bring a group of people together and say, all right, here, issues happening to our families, you know, especially as chair families and children alike to tackle issues that are happening that you talk about at the kitchen table, that you would talk about, you know, with your kiddos.

And, one is internet safety.

You know, none of the none of us that were, put on this website, we didn't go out and say, oh, you know, or I'm posting this, you know, we post it to share with our friends.

We post it to share with, our Facebook or Instagram friends.

And it got taken out of context.

It wasn't it was not put where it was meant to go, on the internet and so on.

I think it's a great conversation that we need to be having with our families about internet safety.

But I think also it allows us to have a broader conversation.

What are other states doing?

I am absolutely heartbroken that this happened to my community, to, all the all the women here, I could absolutely happen to them into.

But what I want to do is be able to prevent this from happening again.

And unless we have a hard conversation about it, and make real policy changes, it'll happen again.

The suspect in this case is facing several charges, including promoting a minor in a sexual performance, tampering with evidence, and dozens of counts of stalking.

Anyone who thinks their photo may have been added is asked to call the Grayson County Attorney's Office.
