Ever taken a sexy selfie? Beware: revenge porn is on the rise. Anna Richardson goes to extraordinary lengths to investigate what happens when someone maliciously shares your most intimate photos.
For young people in the UK today sharing intimate nude and sexual pictures via text message is the norm, however, for many it has back fired.
It is becoming increasingly common for angry ex’s to post private pictures online on revenge porn and social media websites, leaving young people more exposed than they would ever want to be to their friends, family and people around the world.
This modern phenomenon has become such a prominent issue over the last few months that under new laws, set out in the criminal justice act, revenge porn is illegal in the UK and perpetrators could face up to two years in prison.
