Victims of revenge porn have revealed what happened to them when their intimate or naked images were maliciously leaked.
Discussing the topic on a Reddit thread, WinonaK said: ‘While we were together, my (now ex) boyfriend posted pictures of me on a swingers’ website. Apparently he was swapping them with other men for pictures of their wives/girlfriends too.
‘When I found out I was very upset, because I did not even know he had these pictures. My face was showing in them and I would never have consented to them being put online for anyone to see.
‘What’s worse is that many of the people he sent the pictures to were in the local area, so I could easily have been recognised.
I made him take everything down, but I can’t do anything about copies held by other people. His excuse was “I didn’t think you’d mind”. We broke up shortly afterwards. I investigated taking legal action but apparently because they weren’t posted “with malicious intent”, I had nothing on him.’
‘A guy I dated did this to me after we had a nasty breakup. He kept them on a flashdrive and threatened to blackmail me with them. He had serious anger issues and used to punch things next to my head and gave me anxiety.
