A group of women who had their intimate photos stolen and shared online by people living in their local community have joined forces to try to bring the perpetrators to justice - after feeling let down by police. Members of the online forum often specifically request and target females in their local area, reports the BBC. Another victim from the same local area, Jess, said the photos were being 'passed around like a set of trump cards or Pokémon cards'. The limitations and gaps in the current law include inconsistency over what type of intimate images are covered. While she and many other women felt unsupported as victims, Ruby acknowledged that the law doesn't currently support the police.
