A woman whose ex-boyfriend became the first person sentenced under new revenge porn laws has condemned the justice system as 'sexist' after he avoided jail. Keeley Richards-Shaw said she was left feeling 'ashamed and degraded' when her ex secretly took intimate pictures and sent them to his new girlfriend.
Ms Richards-Shaw is now calling for a change in the law to grant all revenge porn victims automatic anonymity, a right currently afforded to victims of sexual offences but not revenge porn. As the case went to court, her personal details were made public, leading to what she described as being 'stalked by the media'.
Speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, she said: 'I'd gone from being stalked by him, to being stalked by the media.' The case has reignited debate over legal protections for victims of image-based abuse.
