Non-consensual image-sharing criminalised
Posted on July 3 2017 at 14:03
Rape Crisis Scotland welcomes
new legislation coming into effect today
which makes the non-consensual sharing
of intimate images and videos (or threatening to share these) a criminal
offence.
Finding that someone has
publicly shared images they believed were private within the context of a
trusting relationship can be devastating and can leave people struggling with
feelings of shame, embarrassment, fearing a variety of consequences and not
knowing where to turn for support and justice.
