My daughter ( now 18) shared with me today that a guy she hooked up with a couple of years ago , had filmed them having sex, without her consent. She was just under 16 when it occurred and extremely drunk. She told me that he shared that video on social media , only a few months ago, with a group of guys. After calling him a few choice names, I asked her if she’d like to report it , as it could pop up anytime.( I know my husband would rip him to pieces if he knew this) She said no, as I guess she doesn’t want the drama perhaps or further public shaming .
What laws are in place to protect women who have there privacy breached - and can I report it without repercussions on her?

I know it should be up to her but sorry I'd get involved in this. She doesn't know when that can bite her in the ass and that fucker needs a good solid lesson. I'd contact him with a lawyer letter and some threats at the very least.
You have to now consider a group of guys has it, none of which care who she is or for her wellbeing.
Yes you can report it. No there will be no repercussions on her, she is the victim.
What he's done is now a criminal offence. Call the police & report it & stress her age, lack of knowledge & inability to consent to being filmed. I'm guessing they'll just pay him a visit & tell him to take it down. For info: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/australia-...
People need to start dealing with the hassle & unpleasant aspects of reporting it otherwise the laws are useless & won't deter anyone.
Sadly, be aware it's out there now & has probably been copied.
He's broken several laws, get on it! He's an absolute pig and I'm sure your daughter will be grateful in the future.
Revenge porn and having images of a minor/ child pornography
You need to tell your husband and report this ASAP.! Stop protecting this scum who did it. She is your daughter. Protect her and other girls now. Teach this scum a lesson.
Go on crime stoppers and upload the video. Report it anonymously and give them the details of this guy. Tell them her age at the time and how it’s circulating social media. Let them follow it up anonymously. Any member of the public could have reported it. Report ASAP this video isn’t going away so get it shut down now.
Stuff what your daughter says! Report this ASAP. Stop hiding things from your husband also. How would you feel if he his something like this from you. What a huge thing to hide. You are betraying him. Get this reported now.
This is out of her hands. You are her mother. Do not delay in reporting this. The police have the power to take this material down.
Absolutely report it! He could post videos of other girls in the future. You have the chance to stop that. Why would you not?
She was under age, it's child porn and circulating on social media.
I'd see the police.
I just want to post this news article; it’ll answer a few questions and hopefully give your daughter support and comfort https://apple.news/AhlxRB4hGRVO5ZAqbh5KuYw
She’s the victim not you! Support her that’s it. Police will not investigate without her statement.
