Law could be changed to stop 'revenge pornography', says minister

Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, says that
ministers will look to change the law to stop the
spread of 'revenge pornography', where men put
online explicit pictures of their former partners
The law could be changed to protect women from
ex-partners who put explicit “revenge
pornography” pictures of them on the internet, a
minister has said.
Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, said that
that there will be a “serious discussion” in
Government about the practice, which experts
have warned in becoming increasingly common in
the UK.
Mr Grayling warned that jilted former boyfriends
and husbands are increasingly posting humiliating
pictures of their ex-partners on websites.
Maria Miller, the former Cabinet minister, has
called for a change in the law to tackle the
"appalling" practice.
Victims often find that the images are impossible
to remove once they are posted online as they
are reproduced on a host of other sites within
minutes.
