問題の映像を流したのは、FOXのストリーミングサービス「Fox Nation」が2022年に配信した、「The Trial of Hunter Biden(ハンター・バイデン裁判の意)」と題する6回シリーズのドラマ。フィクションとの断り書きが表示されるものの、ドナルド・トランプ前大統領の支持者らが数年前から問題視している、ハンター氏とウクライナや中国との不正取引疑惑が題材となっている。
ドラマにはハンター氏の実際の映像も挿入されている。その中には同氏が裸になっている姿や、性交のシーンもあった。
訴状は、「FOXはバイデン氏を辱め、嫌がらせをし、不快にさせ、不安にさせ、名声を汚すためにこうした私的な映像を娯楽番組として数百万人の視聴者に提供し、拡散させた」としている。
映像はもともと、ハンター氏がパソコン修理店に出したノートパソコンに保存されていた。同氏は預けたパソコンを回収しなかったという。【翻訳編集AFPBBNews】

Joe Biden's son Hunter sues Fox News for airing 'revenge porn'

US President Joe Biden's son Hunter is suing right-wing Fox News for airing nude images of him in a miniseries that he claims amount to revenge porn, court documents showed Monday.
The Trial of Hunter Biden was made up of six episodes published in 2022 on Fox Nation, the conservative broadcaster's online platform owned by the family of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
A dramatized version of a criminal trial, the series contained a warning the proceedings were fiction, depicting the first son being prosecuted for graft -- accusations that have been made for years by Donald Trump supporters who point to Hunter Biden's past business ties with Ukraine and China.
The accusations have never led to legal action.
But the series integrates real images of Biden, depicting him in the nude, depicting an unclothed or exposed intimate part of him, as well as engaged in sex acts, the complaint alleges.
Fox published and disseminated these intimate images to its vast audience of millions as part of an entertainment program in order to humiliate, harass, annoy and alarm Mr. Biden and to tarnish his reputation.
The images originated from a laptop that Hunter Biden dropped off at a computer repair shop, but which he never collected.
Its contents have been circulating ever since, and are the subject of widespread conspiracy theories as well as embarrassing fodder for the political opposition.
This entirely politically motivated lawsuit is devoid of merit, Fox News said in a statement.
Mr. Biden did not complain about (it) until sending a letter in late April 2024. The program was removed within days of the letter, in an abundance of caution.
Consistent with the First Amendment, Fox News has accurately covered the newsworthy events of Mr. Biden's own making, and we look forward to vindicating our rights in court.
Hunter Biden was convicted by a jury in June of illegal possession of a firearm in a federal trial that again brought to light his years of addiction to alcohol, cocaine and crack cocaine, apparent in many of the images discovered on the laptop.
In September he will face a separate tax fraud case, a trial that is likely to distract from his father's presidential campaign.
