What is Revenge Porn? How do you deal with Revenge Porn? Is revenge Porn a crime? I've been a victim of Revenge Porn how do I get help?
Revenge porn is a very touchy topic. There is a lot of differing opinions surrounding it and it is easy to shift some of the blame onto the victim for putting herself in that position. The truth of the matter is, blaming a Revenge Porn victim even lightly can be likened to blaming a rape victim by saying that she dressed inappropriately or gave mixed signals - Revenge Porn is wrong and no amount of blame should be passed on to the victim.
What is Revenge Porn
Revenge porn is the act of involuntarily porn. The victim is either recorded unknowingly or photos sent to her then partner in compromising positions or unclothed are circulated, uploaded or posted on pornographic sites without her consent.
The act is highly humiliating, flooded with betrayal and completely unjustified.
Revenge Porn has been described by victims as being virtually raped and can be viewed as an extreme form as cyber bullying and blackmail amongst other things.
How do you deal with Revenge Porn
Revenge Porn can be dealt with in numerous ways. In some countries Revenge Porn is fully illegal and carries a jail sentence. In these countries it is extremely important to visit a police station and lay charges on the perpetrator especially if you know who it is. If you have some form of proof this would help your case greatly.
England and Wales made Revenge Porn in April and had their first sentencing in August as reported on the INDEPENDENT news website.

The law describes revenge porn as "photographs or films which show people engaged in sexual activity or depicted in a sexual way or with their genitals exposed, where what is shown would not usually be seen in public and which are distributed without the person’s permission and with intent to cause harm or distress."The Telegraph news site explains that although the law is not against those receiving the images as they have little control over this, by sharing the images you are breaking the law and can be punished (as you will not have the victims permission to forward on or share the images). In light of this, if you do receive any such images you simply need to delete them.
