Cincinnati police are asking the public for help finding a 25-year-old woman accused of posting nude images and videos of another person online without that person's permission. Andrea Moore is wanted on a felony telecommunications harassment charge, according to Cincinnati police, and officers with the department's District Three station have been actively looking for her.
Police allege that Moore knowingly posted the images and videos on social media without the victim's consent, as reported by WKRC. District Three covers patrol operations across Cincinnati's western and northwestern neighborhoods, including Price Hill, Westwood, Mt. Airy and Northside, according to the City of Cincinnati. Moore's last known residence was on Walden Glen Circle in Mount Healthy, an independent suburb in Hamilton County located approximately 15 miles north of downtown Cincinnati with a population of about 6,996 residents as of the 2020 U.S. Census, per Wikipedia.
Description and Search Details
Moore is described as standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 125 pounds. The station's report does not indicate that she has a known arrest history. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040 or submit a tip online.
Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky Crime Stoppers officially listed Moore as a wanted suspect Wednesday, offering cash rewards up to $1,000 for anonymous tips submitted by phone or through P3Tips.com. The organization coordinates local reward funds to assist law enforcement agencies in tracking down wanted individuals.
How Ohio Law Treats Nonconsensual Image Sharing
The felony charge Moore faces reflects a significant shift in Ohio law. Under Ohio Revised Code § 2917.211, nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images was upgraded to a fifth-degree felony for first-time offenders under House Bill 96, which took effect September 30, 2025, according to WKYC. Before that legislative update, Ohio treated first-time nonconsensual intimate image sharing as a misdemeanor offense.
Separately, Ohio's telecommunications harassment statute, ORC § 2917.21, classifies initial harassment offenses as first-degree misdemeanors but escalates charges to a fifth-degree felony if the suspect has a prior harassment conviction or if specific statutory aggravating factors apply, according to the Law Offices of Brian J. Smith, ltd. That same statute broadens telecommunications harassment beyond traditional phone calls to cover digital media, including text messages, social media posts, emails and online messaging systems, per the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, which notes that state law was modernized in 1999 to replace “telephone call” with broader electronic terms.
Potential Penalties and Civil Recourse
A conviction for a fifth-degree felony in Ohio carries potential criminal penalties of six to 12 months in prison and fines of up to $2,500, according to the Law Offices of Brian J. Smith, ltd. Beyond criminal prosecution, victims of unauthorized intimate image sharing in Ohio can also pursue civil lawsuits under ORC § 2307.66 to obtain restraining orders, compensatory damages, punitive damages and legal fee reimbursements, according to the Chandra Law Firm, which notes that Ohio civil law establishes a legal presumption of harm once unauthorized dissemination is proven.
The Cincinnati case arrives amid heightened regional attention to nonconsensual image sharing prosecutions in Ohio, including the October 2025 arrest of a Summa Health Medical Group president charged under the state's revenge porn statutes. Because Ohio lacks a single, standalone cyberbullying statute, prosecutors frequently combine telecommunications harassment, nonconsensual image dissemination and menacing laws to address online harassment and image abuse cases, according to the Youngstown Criminal Law Group.
Cincinnati police have not released additional details about Moore's relationship to the alleged victim or the specific platforms involved. Anyone with information is urged to come forward as District Three officers continue the search.
