On October 27th, 2019, freshman Democratic representative #KatieHill announced she would be stepping down from her position in Congress amid allegations of a sexual affair with her male legislative director and the publication of nude photographs and other materials substantiating separate allegations of a sexual affair with one of her female Congressional staffers. In the age of #MeToo, we’ve constantly been lectured about how utterly unacceptable it is for employers to have sexual relationships with their subordinates, as the imbalance of power makes it impossible for the subordinates to consent. However, Katie Hill, and a slew of media outlets, are now attempting to make her the victim, the only crime here being the crime of revenge porn. But what is the lesson that we should be learning from Katie Hill, and is she really the victim here?
