A young woman I know has recently been the victim of a former male "friend" of hers showing all his mates naked pictures that he says are of her.
She is adamant that it is not her but someone else and that she has never sent him naked pictures of herself or been in a position that he could take naked pictures of her. I believe her. The police are currently involved and are taking it very seriously but I'm not sure what will come of it.
My question is: does it really matter if it is her or not? What he has done is awful and has affected her deeply, so is it worse if it's not her and he's made it up?
My first instinct was that yes it matters. It makes a difference to her that she has absolutely no control over this situation at all, she did nothing that she could conceivably say "lesson learnt, I won't do that again" and yet so many people think that she did which adds to the embarrassment. Dp thinks it doesn't matter whether it is her or not as his intent was to hurt and embarrass her and either way he's achieved his aim.
Help me gather my thoughts about this.
