Support if someone shares your intimate picture without permission
Intimate images can be shared in a number of ways, for example by text, social media or showing a physical or digital copy to another person.
What are intimate images?
Intimate images can be pictures or videos of you doing something normally done in private. You may have agreed to the pictures being taken, but you didn’t agree to them being shared with others.
An intimate image could show:
- you taking part in a sexual act
- your genitals, buttocks or breasts exposed in a private place (for example, at home)
- you wearing only your underwear in a private place (for example, at home)
Report it to the police
The police recognise revenge porn as a serious form of abuse. Report someone sharing or threatening to share an intimate image without consent by calling 101 or in an emergency phone 999.
