Currently DP’s phone is broken so he uses mine for accessing his social media etc.
For context, over a year ago a girl messaged him saying she was attracted to him etc, and he was overly flirty in response. (No cheating or arrangements to cheat but he did say she was good looking).
Recently this girl sent him unsolicited nude photos. We are quite open with our social media’s and it was a shock to both of us when the messages were opened, she obviously had no idea we share a mobile. Due to my phone settings, photos on that app automatically save into my phone photo album. I deleted them of course.
I messaged her fuming and said not to do it again and now she says as I have seen them it’s breaking the law and she will be reporting me. As they were only meant for him.
I’m 100% sure he gave her no indication he wanted these photos or that they would be kept private, he didn’t even know he was getting them! And I’ve been approached by another female who’s boyfriend was also sent the exact same images and a video (but unfortunately he was caught cheating).
The grey area is when I look up the law on revenge porn it says if you show the photo you received that was intended to be private, to another person then you are breaking the law. But if both parties don’t consent to the privacy before the image is sent then does it “count” as an intentional upload to the internet with consent from the photos creator
