What is 'Revenge porn'?
Revenge porn is is when someone takes or shares private sexual photos or videos of you, or threatens to, without consent. This can also be called 'intimate image abuse'. If you, or someone you know, has been affected by this, you can contact The Revenge Porn Helpline to help you.
You can find the Easy Read documents explaining how to use the The Revenge Porn Helpline on their website here - revengepornhelpline.org.uk/how-can-we-help/who-can-we-help/easy-reads/
