Porn revenge

[sashalove123]

Hi there help!
My daughter was in a relationship which was mentally abusive. She came across a half naked video image of her on her then boyfriends phone. It’s was recorded without her consent in his bedroom and she had no clue he had recorded her. She only saw it whist her ex was scrolling through images in front of her. She immediately told him to delete. She has no idea if he has. Rumours have circulated among her peers at college that there’s a video. She has no evidence that he has sent this video but she definitely knows he has the image. We have gone to the police and they have said they can’t bring him in for questioning because my daughter has no proof that the Ex has sent it. At the time of the recording my daughter was 17 and Ex 18. Please help what can I do. This creep has a half naked video of her and police won’t do anything to help.

Go to the police it’s an offence now!

Sorry misread you have gone to the police erm other than that private detective to get proof?

We have gone to the police and they won’t even bring him in to see if he still has the video on his phone or to investigate if he has sent it socially. For all we know he still has the unconsent video and still could send it, if hasn’t already.

I know this is a random thing to try but maybe try to tweet or contact Anna Richardson, she did a documentary about revenge porn and how it should be a crime. I thought it was!

As your daughter is over 16 it’s not child porn but thought taking photos without convent is. With metoo etc you might get some support.

Really sorry not sure what else to suggest other than trying to steal the phone!

I thought images of under 18s were classed as indecent images of minors?

I'd go back to the police. Make sure they know that she was only 17 at the time and the images were taken without her consent.
It's a crime.

Your poor daughter. Spurned people can be very very cruel. How is she coping? How are you coping?? Definitely an offense to even have taken the photo without consent and im share it's illegal to share such material. There's laws in place now for it as unfortunately it's becoming so common place. Disgusting.

Standard practice would be: the police would visit and supervise him deleting the image/video.
I'm surprised at your experience, actually no I'm not. But do try again. How awful for your DD

@kaytee87 you maybe right I thought was 16 as age of consent.

The fact is there was no consent so should be a crime in itself.

Because she is 17 it was passed over to the child exploitation department. And still nothing occurs because my daughter has no proof he has sent them. She definitely knows he has the video. This is so bad. So anyone of us could be secretly recorded naked or having sex and nothing can be done. The perpetrator could show all his friends in the privacy of his home but as long as he doesn’t send it it’s okay? How can One even find out if it has been sent on snapchat or watsapp? Yet again females being let down. I’m afraid my daughter is not eating. Not sleeping. 17 years and wants to share my bed at night. She has changed. So angry.

You've been given misinformation, it isn't ok. Please try again for your DD

The fact that he has a naked video of her without her consent should be enough.

Op did you make clear to the police that the photograph / video was taken without her consent? This is a crime. I'd be pushing this back

I think you should go to the station and have them look your daughter in the eye and say they are not going to act!

It’s a crime, it’s causing distress, they need to act!

Police here
Try again. I would be thinking if there is suspicion that he has a video (and no one else could have originated it - (meaning it is to be him and not one of 20 she's slept with for example ) I'd be inclined to say they could act - even if it's to put the frighteners on him and tell him he is liable to arrest etcetc....
How sure is she that he is the one who made the video? Could it be anyone else? She needs to be honest though ....

I am going to pursue this.
Just came across this which has made me loose faith in the police.

Was the photo taken without your permission?
Taking pictures of someone without consent when they’re in private premises contravenes privacy laws that apply to photographers – and anyone with a camera. Almost everything in a bedroom should be covered by this rule. The UK's strongest privacy rules come from the European Convention on Human Rights 1998.

If the pictures are also sexual in nature or used for sexual gratification, the voyeurism law in the Sexual Offences Act 2003 also kicks in. The Act also recommends higher penalties for offenders who record and share images with others.

Op I've just successfully prosecuted a voyeurism case.

And revenge porn is an offence .

Did you ring and just speak to a call handler?
Or did you get to speak to an actual police officer?

Ask for a station appointment with a police officer but your dd needs to go too and you will just be there to support her - she's got to want to
Pursue it.

Definitely try again. I'm sorry you've felt let down.
