INDIANAPOLIS â A Steuben County criminal case involving the unauthorized distribution of an intimate image of a woman will be heard on appeal by the Indiana Supreme Court on Thursday, June 24, beginning at 11 a.m.
The case stems from an incident that occurred in March 2020 when a Trine University student allegedly took a video of an intimate act between himself and another Trine student at a fraternity house, then showed the video to other individuals, court records say.
The student, Conner Katz, 22, Coldwater, Michigan, was charged in March 2020 with distribution of an intimate image, but the Class A misdemeanor case was dismissed on Oct. 2 by Magistrate Randy Coffey in Steuben Circuit Court on grounds that Indianaâs revenge porn law violated U.S. and Indiana constitutional rights to free speech. The university confirmed that Katz is still a student at Trine.
