The new Scottish law criminalising image-based sexual abuse (including so-called ‘revenge porn’) is in force from 1 April 2017. The BBC 2 current affairs programme Timeline discussed the new law and its possible impacts with Liz Ely of Zero Tolerance Scotland and myself on 30th April. The video below shows the highlights of this item.

I also gave evidence before the Scottish Parliament in November 2015 when it was debating the scope of any new laws. Full details below.
