Sorry, there was a technical problem. Please try again.
Thanks for trying the 'beta' version of our new website. It's a work in progress, we'll be adding new services over the next few weeks, so please take a look and tell us what you think.
It is illegal to share or threaten to share private, sexual photos or videos of someone without their permission.
This is called intimate image abuse or revenge porn, and it includes:
Private means anything that's not usually seen in public. In law, sexual means anything that shows a person's genitals or private areas and anything else that's considered to be sexual by a 'reasonable person'.
Anyone can be a victim of intimate image abuse. The offender will often be an ex-partner or someone you know, but it can also be a stranger.
Most social media sites have rules against sharing intimate content without consent, so you should be able to get the material removed. The Revenge Porn Helpline can help you report the material to social media accounts.
We understand that it might be difficult to report this type of crime to us, but our officers are here to listen and to support you in any way we can.
You can report intimate image abuse to us:
