The UK's law, on your side.
Sharing or threatening to share intimate images without consent is a crime, and the UK has a government-funded helpline with a strong takedown record. Here's what the law does — and where, honestly, it stops.
If you found this page in the worst week of your life — this is fixable, and you will not have to read the law alone.
This page is education, not legal advice. We are a removal agency, not a law firm; for advice on your specific situation, consult an attorney — or start with the free assessment and we'll tell you honestly what your case needs.
Sharing — or threatening to share — an intimate image without consent is a criminal offence under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Revenge Porn Helpline + StopNCII.org
A Home Office-funded service that works with platforms to remove content, plus hash-blocking that stops an image re-appearing across major platforms.
UK GDPR — Article 17 right to erasure
The 'right to be forgotten' — a real basis to ask search engines to de-list harmful results.
Platform NCII policies
Every major platform's own non-consensual-image policy, filed correctly — the lever that works fastest.
We coordinate the UK's levers and file under the right one for your case.
