(1) Influences, offers to influence, or threatens the career, reputation, pay, or job of another person in exchange for sexual favors;
(2) Makes deliberate or repeated unwanted offensive comments or gestures of a sexually explicit nature toward, or in the presence of, another person; or
(3) Displays or transmits to another person, without legal justification or lawful authorization, imagery of a sexually explicit nature.
Effective: July 15, 2016
History: Created 2016 Ky. Acts ch. 75, sec. 6, effective July 15, 2016.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2016). 2016 Ky. Acts ch. 75, sec. 6 provided that a new section of KRS Chapter 35 was created to be numbered as KRS
35.680. However, a statute had previously been numbered as KRS § 35.680 when it was created in 1970 and then renumbered as KRS § 35.730 in 2013. Since the designation of “35.680” had been applied to an earlier statute and should not be assigned to a different statute because it would create confusion, the Reviser of Statutes has numbered 2016 Ky. Acts ch. 75, sec. 6 (this statute) as KRS § 35.679 instead under the authority of KRS § 7.136(1)(a).
(1) Influences, offers to influence, or threatens the career, reputation, pay, or job of another person in exchange for sexual favors;
