      (2) Was this revenge porn? Should there not be an outcry or does Barton being a man negate outrage? I take these situations very seriously, especially since I have represented women (pro bono in fact) who have suffered as victims of revenge porn,http://www.nbc-2.com/story/34185598/collier-deputy-accused-of-posting-revenge-porn …

      (3) In my opinion, I don’t believe there should be a double standard based on gender. Were the gender roles reversed, I daresay, especially in the current climate, all hell would be breaking loose. So let’s take a moment to examine the legal issues in this case thus far.

      (4) But first, who is Congressman Barton? He joined Congress in 1985 (17th term). He is longest-serving member of Congress from Texas & fifth-longest serving Republican in House. He previously served as chairman of House Energy & Commerce committee and is now its’ vice-chair.

      (5) No surprise that Cong. Barton, being from TX & Republican, is conservative. He is a member of Freedom Caucus, and is held in high regard by groups such as Family Research Council given his positions on abortion and gay rights. Does any of that matter? Not legally.

      (6) Barton issued a statement that said: "While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women." He continued that "Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended. .....

      (8) When the story first broke we did not have many facts. For example, it was unclear how his photo was posted onto social media, who put it there, or what was the motive. Answers to these questions could impact whether it was revenge porn.

      (9) But now, thanks to additional reporting by @washingtonpost, whose reporters spoke to the “other” woman, we know more facts. Frankly, they don’t look good for the people who distributed the Congressman’s private images. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/powerpost/congressman-told-woman-he-would-report-her-to-capitol-police-if-she-exposed-his-secret-sex-life/2017/11/22/e3345862-cf10-11e7-a1a3-0d1e45a6de3d_story.html …
