Threatening to or distributing intimate images without permission.

This is sometimes called 'revenge porn' or 'the non-consensual sharing of intimate images'.

If someone has shared revealing or intimate photos or videos of you, or is threatening to share them, this is a crime in Scotland. There are steps you can take.

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. These may have been taken without your knowledge, or, 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)
