What is Intimate Image Abuse?

Intimate Image Abuse, also referred to as ‘Revenge Porn’, is the act of sharing intimate images or videos of someone, either on or offline, without their consent with the intention of causing distress. This is against the law and included in the Criminal Justice and Courts Act (2015).

What should I do next?

Get in touch for free, confidential support and assistance with reporting content that has been shared online. The helpline cannot guarantee removal of all images online but hold exceptional partnerships with industry partners. We're open Monday to Friday from 10am until 4pm. You can email us at any time and we will respond during our helpline opening times

We're here to help

We support all adults (those over the age of 18) in the UK who are victims of intimate image abuse and who have had their intimate images and videos shared without their consent, or when someone is threatening to do this.

  • We provide non-judgemental and confidential advice via the phone or by email.
  • If you have had intimate content shared online, we can help with the reporting and removal of content. Whilst we cannot guarantee removal of all images, we do hold a very good takedown record.
  • We offer help and advice on the social media platform’s community guidelines and policies and how to report and remove content to which they should respond promptly. If not, we can help.
  • We can give you advice on the UK law and provide information on reporting crimes to the police and the evidence you may need to gather. 
  • We have a referral relationship with the QMUL Legal Advice Centre who provide free legal advice for victims of intimate image abuse. 

What advice we can offer

We are funded by the Home Office to provide support for victims of intimate image abuse, this includes the following areas:

StopNCII.org

The Revenge Porn Helpline and SWGfL have launched a new and ground-breaking platform: StopNCII.org.

StopNCII.org supports adults who are being threatened with the sharing of their private sexual images online. Unique identifiers, called hashes, are created of the images to prevent their spread across the platforms of participating industry partners. StopNCII.org allows adult users to create the hashes securely without the images leaving their devices and upload them to a central bank hosted by the Revenge Porn Helpline. The hashes are then shared and blocked by participating companies who have partnered with StopNCII.org.
