Scotland prosecutes few reported revenge porn cases

dailymail.co.uk

Less than half of reported revenge porn cases in Scotland reach court, with very few resulting in imprisonment, sparking criticism. In the past year, despite nearly 800 reports, only two people were imprisoned for intimate image abuse. The number of charges reported to the Crown Office has also been significantly lower than the number of reports made to the police. Campaigners express concern that victims feel abandoned, highlighting the rise in cases and insufficient legal measures. The Scottish government and police have responded, emphasizing their commitment to investigating and prosecuting these crimes.
