Since Giuliani isn’t seen naked in the movie, the chances he can sue for revenge porn are slim, according to criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Julie Rendelman. “I do not believe that Cohen’s posting of an image or video of Giuliani with his hand down his pants rises to a violation of New York’s revenge porn law,” she told Law & Crime. Further, the word ‘Intimate’ is defined in New York Law as ‘naked genitals, pubic area or anus.’”Therefore, unless the film shows Guiliani’s private parts, it doesn’t violate the law, Rendelman said. Another sticking point: If the former mayor does sue for revenge porn, that could be seen as an admission that he was doing something sexual, which he insists didn’t happen. Giuliani told WABC on Wednesday that he was only lying on the bed so he could tuck in his shirt.
