‘Intent To Cause Distress’ When and How is Revenge Porn Illegal?

In this episode Maria-Bettina speaks with Kate from Revenge Porn Helpline. Revenge Porn Helpline is an organisation who supports adult victims of intimate image abuse who live in the UK. They provide advice, guidance and support with helping to remove intimate content that has been shared non-consensually online.

In this episode we discuss what revenge porn is. Revenge Porn is not just an ex uploading a photo, there are many dimensions to this problem, and different types of image abuse. We then discuss the issues with the law, and how UK law has a large loophole which results in low prosecution rates. In addition, Kate explains the best way to get your content taken down, and why porn sites are such a hotspot for image based sexual abuse.
