Original Note:
The photo is not NY AG Leticia James, but rather Stacey Plaskett, U.S. delegate to Congress from Virgin Islands, who was a victim of cybercrime. Two disgruntled ex-staffers were sentenced in 2018 for hacking her phone and disclosing private and sexual images. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3702307/Hackers-steal-sex-tape-Virgin-Islands-Congressional-delegate-post-online-two-weeks-runs-election.html https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-topless-photo-does-not-show-new-york-ag-letitia-james-illegally-obtained-photo-shows-victim-of-federal-cybercrime.html
