This study presents a systematic literature review focused on the crime of disseminating sexually explicit information without consent. The search period covers the last five years (2020–2025) to capture the most recent developments in legislation and research in this area. The search was conducted in various academic databases and search engines with legal, social, and psychological scopes, including studies in criminal law, criminology, psychology, and sociology from countries with an active interest in regulating this illicit conduct. The main research question was formulated as follows: What is the significance of the crime of disseminating sexually explicit information without consent? The objective of this research is to conduct a systematic and rigorous review of articles related to the crime of disseminating intimate sexual content without consent. For this purpose, information from the scientific network was used exclusively. All reviewed documents come from indexed journals and prestigious academic databases (such as Scopus, Web of Science, or specialized legal databases), encompassing both national and international studies. The purpose of this study is to review the various legal approaches, jurisprudence, problem statements, proposed solutions, and recommendations issued by the global academic and legal community regarding this digital crime. The study concludes that this crime is critically important due to its high social cost and the severity of the damage to privacy. The review demonstrates the inadequacy of one-dimensional punitive responses and the need for specialized criminal legislation (multi-offense, with a gender perspective) that addresses threats such as sexual deepfakes. It is crucial to address the high rate of unreported cases through judicial training.
