Jail looms for revenge porn

ABUSIVE partners use intimate images of their spouse as blackmail, a Labor MP says, as Federal Parliament debates jail time for revenge porn.

Labor’s Clare O’Neil shared the story of a woman whose husband posted images of her online and threatened to send them to her family.

“It’s used to control the behaviour of women in abusive relationships,” she told the Lower House yesterday.

People who share intimate images of someone without their consent could face up to seven years in prison under legislation being debated.
