A new age of dating has come with a whole list of new fears. Revenge porn has been a hot topic over the past few years. Revenge porn is the act of someone releasing or selling photos or videos that were meant to be kept private.

 

Mischa Barton worked against the release of a sex tape she had no knowledge existed. Her ex threatened and blackmailed her after their split.

 

1 in 25 women is a victim of Revenge Porn and for women under the age of 30 the number is 1 in 10. Chances are you know someone who has been impacted by this.
