A term used to describe sexually explicit media that is publicly shared online without the consent of the pictured individual.
If someone has shared intimate pictures or videos of you, or someone you know; whether this is online or offline, without consent - THIS IS REVENGE PORN.
Anyone over the age of 18 can be a victim of Revenge Porn. If you are under 18, and this happens to you, you can report the incident to the Police and/or CEOP.
Some incidents are perpetrated by ex-partners, some by strangers, and via hacking or stolen images.
