From Chat To Threat: Victims Of Intimate Image Abuse Urged To Seek Support

Hotline.ie, a service for reporting illegal content online, says people who have been threatened, blackmailed or extorted over private images should contact them in confidence.

Victims of intimate image abuse – including so-called revenge pornography – are being urged to come forward and seek help.

Hotline.ie, a service for reporting illegal content online, says people who have been threatened, blackmailed or extorted over private images should contact them in confidence.

CEO Mick Moran told Kfm that many people are left traumatised after sending intimate images to someone they trusted, only to be threatened that the images will be shared in an abusive way.

He warned that what can start as an ordinary online chat can quickly escalate into an extortion trap - but support and advice are available.
