Revenge Porn refers to the sharing of explicit or sexual, images or videos, without the consent of the person in the image. This is an issue among people of all ages from children as young as 11 to much older adults. However, the most commonly reported incidents have come from those who are in their teens to adults in their mid-twenties. This is often due to a lack of available information and support regarding the dangers and consequences of sharing explicit images.
Reported cases of revenge porn have increased significantly in 2015 and 2016. With mobile phones becoming more and more intelligent and cameras being included as a standard feature on most models, sharing images has never been so quick and easy. This has led to an increase in people sharing intimate images with their partners via social media, text and other instant messaging services.
