Intimate Image Abuse

This includes situations where someone does the following online:

• Posts a recording of you doing a private act, such as using a toilet, showering or bathing

• Offers to sell or share sexual images of you without your consent

• Posts or shares intimate photos of you as “revenge porn” after a break-up

• Shares realistic sexual videos of you that are created using AI or digital tools

In the above situations, a reasonable person would conclude that the material is likely to cause you harassment, alarm, distress or humiliation.

An image is not considered an intimate image if no reasonable person would believe that you are depicted in the image shared.

For example, a person shares an image of your face pasted onto a cartoon showing a figure in a sexual act. As no reasonable person would believe that the image depicts you, sharing such material will not be considered intimate image abuse, though this may be online harassment.
