Revenge porn 'needs specific legislation'
Scotland's Lord Advocate calls for laws prohibiting distribution of sexual images without consent
Revenge porn is a criminal betrayal deserving criminal legislation, Scotland’s top lawyer has said in a move backing feminist campaigners.
Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland voiced support for new laws targeting the distribution of sexual images without the subject’s consent — typically men seeking to humiliate their partner following a fight or break-up.
Campaigners with Scottish Women’s Aid and Rape Crisis Scotland have warned that such videos or photographs are increasingly being used to harass and intimidate women.
