Said to affect one in 10 Australians, revenge porn offenders -- both in ongoing or broken relationships -- share intimate images on websites and social media to intimidate or humiliate the other party. If enacted, New South Wales will be third state to criminalise revenge porn after Victoria and South Australia. Labor MPs Terri Butler and Tim Watts are behind a federal move to criminalise revenge porn. They have introduced a private members bill to amend the criminal code and create a maximum five year jail term for revenge porn offenders. During the election, the Turnbull Government committed $10 million to support victims of revenge porn and domestic violence, including the setting up of an online complaints website.
