Revenge Pornography

EDM number 192 in 2014-15, proposed by Julian Huppert on 30/06/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Internet and cybercrime, Privacy and Sexual offences.

That this House is deeply concerned at the growth of revenge porn, which typically sees individuals publishing online explicit and intimate photographs and videos of ex-partners; notes that whilst the images are often taken with full consent, their dissemination is not; further notes that the dissemination of these images have ruined lives, destroyed careers and caused untold psychological damage; understands that currently there is no specific legislation to deal with the problem; and urges the Government to bring forward legislative proposals to criminally sanction individuals who breach the privacy of others through these vengeful acts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
