Illegal Sharing of Intimate Images Without Consent
The motion
That the Parliament notes with concern the reported doubling in unique views on Citizens Advice Scotland’s Advice for Scotland webpages regarding the sharing of intimate images or videos without a person’s consent; notes the view that this is a matter that requires prompt action to make sure that people in the Glasgow Cathcart constituency and across Scotland are aware of their rights and responsibilities; highlights that the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Act 2016 is now in force and makes it a crime to share intimate images or videos, send them to another person, upload them to a website or threaten to do this without the person’s consent, and acknowledges the view that anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of this crime should seek advice and report the matter to the police.
