Sure is. This is ridiculous NSW in non-action

A 'serious invasion' of privacy

What has made Breanna really angry is that there is little she can do to stop it happening to others.

In New South Wales, there is no law protecting patients from having similar photos taken.

"I am an information technology teacher. I know how bad it could get and that the photo could have ended up on the internet and being shared," she told the ABC.

"The photo was explicit and left nothing to the imagination."

Under section 91 L of the Crimes Act, it is an offence to photograph or film someone's private parts for the purpose of obtaining, or enabling another person to obtain sexual arousal or sexual gratification.

But that was not the case in this circumstance.

Breanna's lawyer, Fiona McLay from Harris Freidman, said there is a serious gap in NSW criminal law.
