Sending ‘Nudes’

Discuss with the people next to you:

Why might someone send ‘nudes’?

Why might someone ask for ‘nudes’?

If you do not feel comfortable discussing THINK about the activity by yourself.

What are the consequences for sending nude photographs?

LEGAL implications of SENDING NUDES

Legal consequences: sending or sharing explicit images could be breaking the law. If you are under 18 and you send, upload or forward indecent images or videos on to your friends or partner, this would be breaking the law, even if they are photos of you.
Another person could share the photo with other people, or post it online, which means anyone could see it, (e.g. family, friends, teachers, even future employers).
In extreme cases, it could be used to blackmail the sender into sending more photos or videos.
If the relationship ends, the images could be shared as a way to humiliate the former partner (‘revenge porn’).
It could lead to a range of other consequences, including bullying or unwanted attention from others.

LEGAL implications of RECEIVING NUDES

If someone pressurizes another person to send them sexually explicit or nude pictures, this is abusive and not normal or acceptable..
If someone has any indecent images or videos of somebody who is under the age of 18 they would technically be in possession of an indecent image of a child, even if they are the same age. This is in an offence under the Protection of Children Act 1978 and the criminal Justice ACT 1988.
Pressuring someone for nudes can make them feel uncomfortable or manipulated and could lead to them losing confidence in relationships, or experiencing other relationship difficulties in the future.

Are the scenarios consensual at any point? If so, when? �Did the scenario change to become non-consensual? If so, when? �Is the scenario illegal?

14 of 18

Are any of the scenarios illegal?

In all scenarios, taking and sharing of the photos is illegal, even if it’s a selfie. Sharing indecent images of children under 18 is illegal, and offers grounds for prosecution under various laws including: the Sexual Offences Act (2003), Malicious Communications Act (1988), Obscene Publications Act (1959) and Protection of Children Act (1978). If the victim is under 18, the perpetrator could be added to the Sex Offenders’ Register.
