Full Text of § 1125
Amendment History
Added by Laws 2026, c. 447,s. 5, eff. 11/1/2026.
Plain-English Summary
Suing over disclosure of an intimate image means putting the underlying facts before a court, and this section limits how much of the plaintiff's identity has to go into the public file. The court may exclude or redact identifying characteristics of the plaintiff, beyond what the case otherwise requires, from all pleadings and documents filed in the action.
A plaintiff who gets that protection must file a confidential information form with the court and serve it on the defendant, containing the excluded or redacted name and other identifying details — so the case can proceed on the merits while the public record stays limited. The court can also enter further orders as needed to protect the plaintiff's identity and privacy.
