It is a breach of privacy to record an identifiable person under their clothing, or who is nude or undressed, without their consent or knowledge, to view their body, where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Who handles this in Kansas: Johnson County Bar Association, Find a Lawyer; and legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Kansas directory.
It is also a breach of privacy to share an image of an identifiable person 18 or older who is nude or engaged in sexual activity, taken where they expected privacy, meaning to harass, threaten or intimidate them, without their consent. That includes an image made or altered by artificial intelligence to look like them.
