PM BACKS REVENGE PORN PROPOSAL
The Prime Minister has backed proposals to make posting porn online for revenge illegal, acknowledging in the Commons it "clearly has criminal intent".
Former culture secretary Maria Miller raised the issue with David Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr Cameron said: "You are absolutely right, this is an appalling offence, a dreadful thing for someone to do and it clearly has criminal intent.
"I'm very glad you are championing this cause and I hope, having looked in detail at the amendments you are suggesting, we can take up this cause."
Mrs Miller had asked: "The Safer Internet Centre estimates up to 30 websites host UK online revenge pornography images, another form of sexual abuse.
"Do you agree that posting such material has to be recognised for what it is - a criminal sexual offence against its victims?"
