British women 'paying hundreds of dollars to US websites to remove revenge porn images'

Description

British women are paying hundreds of dollars to American websites to ask for intimate photos of them to be taken down, peers have heard.

Some women were finding that they were becoming unwitting online porn stars, the House of Lords was told.

The claims were made during a debate to urge the Government to take action to curb “revenge porn” when ex-partners put explicit photos of women on the internet.

Baroness Morris of Bolton, a Conservative peer, told of the “extraordinary difficulties” which victims had to overcome to have images taken down.
