Many images on Wikipedia have been taken without the subject's genuine consent. So surely that isn't the issue.
Many are transferred to Commons from Flickr without the uploader's consent which, in the case of sexually explicit photos taken in a private location, should always be sought before doing the transfer.
Well, first of all, why?
Secondly, I'm not talking just about sexually explicit photos. Wikipedia has photos of people being or about to be [[behead]]ed, [[torture]]d, [[kidnap]]ped, [[assassination]]ed, etc. I checked, and there's no photograph of someone being [[rape]]d, just paintings, but it's probably just a matter of time.
