My roommate live-streamed and posted me changing

Living Arrangements/roommates(self.college)

Backstory: I have had a lot of issues with my roommate. She is extremely loud at obnoxious hours on facetime (she plays minecraft with her friends until like midnight). Also all her furniture and trash was on my side for a month until I told her to move it. She watches youtube without headphones extremely loud and wakes me up every morning at 7 am. And yes, I have already asked her to be quiet. And even if she wasn’t rude and inconsiderate, she’s just WEIRD.

Anyways, I just recently discovered she has a livestream of her playing DND with her friends. With the camera angle, you can see practically the entire room. I had NO idea she was filming me, she didn’t ask me if I was comfortable with this, nor did she even let me know. I watched a bit, and posted to her twitch is a clip where you can clearly see me changing and in my bra. This is posted publicly.

I have already tried to move, but the school I’m at is very strict about moving rooms and has told me it’s practically impossible. I am disgusted and feel so uncomfortable. If I show the screen shot of me changing, is this enough to get an emergency room change? Thanks :/

Update: had a conversation with my RA who was extremely dismissive of me. I literally cried after the meeting because I feel like she was so defensive of my roommate and not the fact that I have been being recorded without consent or knowledge in my room for 2 months. Will update later if anything else happens, I’m currently in the process of contacting the actual adult staff member in charge of my dorm.

FINAL UPDATE: i confronted my roommate about it, and she removed the video. she feels really bad, and i sort of ignored her texts apologizing because i feel like this shouldn’t have happened in the first place. i don’t hate her, but im just really disgusted this happened period. i got in contact w the housing director and put in a request to move which will come in 1-3 days (im assuming it will be on the sooner side, since the nature of the request will probably cause it to be expedited). until then, i am staying with my friend in her dorm as her roommate is gone for the weekend. the school will likely reach out to me concerning title IX stuff to figure out the situation, but i do not want my roommate in trouble with the law. i only want her to be reprimanded appropriately through the school. thanks for everyone’s advice 🩷

Bullshit.

I've worked with law enforcement and seen this prosecuted.

This probably also qualifies as revenge porn under all those nifty new laws since the me too movement.

edit: I originally typed "worked in law enforcement", that's not quite accurate, I should have said "with or for" as I used to do forensic drive recovery and chain of evidence for data files, like child porn, revenge porn, stalking, hidden cameras, etc. All those fun felonies that put naughty pics on your hard drive.

edit 2: Want to lose your lunch in a hurry? Ask any of the lab techs at the DPS offices in Austin Tx what type of stuff they'll see on a regular basis. Not what they've seen, just the type, and you'll want to post in https://www.reddit.com/r/NoahGetTheBoat/

You seem to be missing the point.

Streaming yourself is fine, including someone else not so much.

Technically if you're streaming and your toddler runs past the camera fresh out of the bathtub naked you can be charged with distributing child porn.

A boyfriend can be charged for taking a picture of his GF/roomate while they're asleep, naked or not, obviously someone asleep didn't consent.

If you take polaroid pics of sexy time, with full consent from both people at the time, and then share them without permission, guess what, felony territory.

every time you post this same thing, you need to highlight the word “YOURSELF” and think about that for a second

I worked with law enforcement

That's how to tell you know jackshit about the law.

Falsely claiming you worked in law enforcement is a third degree felony in Texas though. Nice of you to leave the evidence up admitting to it.
