"How we handle cases today is much different and more effective as a result of what occurred with Marines United.

The Marines United scandal broke in early March when journalist Thomas Brennen wrote in Reveal News that the U.S. Department of Defense was investigating "hundreds of Marines who used social media to solicit and share hundreds — possibly thousands — of naked photographs of female service members and veterans."

According to Brennen's reporting, Google Drive folders were linked from the Facebook page, included dossiers of women and contained private information about women in the service, alongside images of sexual acts without victims' consent. He noted in an interview with Esquire that "revenge porn" weaponized and targeted women within the armed services.

"What made this different was the volume of photographs and the details: names, ranks, duty stations," Brennen said. "They were weaponizing this stuff."

"It isn’t always about revenge," said Rep. Stacey Plaskett. "It may be a case of blackmail, it may be a case of someone who’s just a creep, it may be hacking, it may be someone who’s never had a relationship with you at all, so I think we need to broaden the scope of this and bring awareness that it needs to change."
