Revenge porn is the term used to describe when someone posts sexual images or films of an ‘ex partner’ online without their consent as an act of revenge.
As of April 2015 Revenge Porn is a criminal offence. Behaviour of this kind, if repeated, may also amount to an offence of harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
If someone has done this or is threatening to do this to you to make you do things you don’t want to, this is abuse.
For advice you can contact the police on telephone 101 (non emergency number).
