Unless your dad's a lawyer, or you're better at blackmail than breathing, you might not want to put that porn you and your ex made on the interwebz for the world to see.
Unless your dad's a lawyer, or you're better at blackmail than breathing, you might not want to put that porn you and your ex made on the interwebz for the world to see. Unless, of course, you need somewhere to live for two years that's called "Jail."
That's because revenge porn is on the verge of becoming a criminal offense. In the UK, the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill, which has a specific amendment dealing with revenge porn will soon become law. And what do you get for breaking it? Two glorious years in the can and a prison husband named CorneliusX.
If that seems a little excessive a punishment for simply uploading your girlfriend's sweet blowjob video from 2004 onto YouPorn … think again, criminal!
The Huffington Post reports that the "effects of revenge porn on the victim are devastating. It’s not just the embarrassment and devastation after a betrayal by an ex-lover; many women fear they will lose their jobs — images are often shared with co-workers — or have their children taken into care if social services believe they are sex workers. Many report feeling unable to leave the house and losing relationships with friends and family members due to feeling ashamed and frightened."
Okay … so … two years and some toilet wine seems warranted.
Just so you know (because we can see you going through your phone to find your boyfriend's anatomically perplexing dick pick to post on Reddit right now), revenge porn considered to be the act of sharing sexually explicit images or videos of a person without that person’s consent. In most cases, the porn is acquired by a partner while in a relationship and then distributed without consent after a break-up. Put. The Reddit. Down.
And consent is hard to prove. So, heed this riveting post as a warning: anytime you want to post your ex's beautiful bouncing boobs on the Google, have her sign a consent form. That way you can keep filming cans outside the can.
You're welcome, sweetheart. Just looking out for you.
