Revenge porn to be made illegal in England and Wales

An amendment to the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill was announced today. It is the first time that the distribution of intimate photos or videos of a former partner without consent has been classified as a specific criminal offence. Victims of revenge porn have had a hard time putting a stop to the spread of private images and video footage. The new law will also be an offence to distribute physical copies of the images. A new campaign Be Aware B4 You Share has been launched in partnership with the UK Safer Internet.”]
