Plain-English Summary
A plaintiff who wins under the new Act can recover the greater of two damages measures: actual economic and noneconomic damages, including emotional distress, proximately caused by the disclosure or threatened disclosure; or statutory damages of up to $10,000 against each liable defendant, covering every disclosure or threatened disclosure by that defendant the plaintiff knew about or should have known about. In setting that statutory figure, the court weighs the parties' ages at the time, how many disclosures occurred, how widely the image spread, and other aggravating or mitigating facts. On top of that, the plaintiff can recover any monetary gain the defendant made from the disclosure, plus punitive damages under Oklahoma's ordinary punitive-damages law.
The court may also award reasonable attorney fees and costs, and additional relief including an injunction. None of this displaces any other right or remedy the plaintiff might otherwise have under Oklahoma law.
