“Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.” —Francis Bacon, Essays
In what has been described as a “disturbing trend,” scorned lovers are using the Internet to post sexually explicit images, such as “selfies,” or images captured with a hidden camera, of another person, typically their ex-partner, without their permission. Sometimes they upload those images to revenge websites. These postings may include offensive remarks about the subject, and the posters may link the images to the subject’s social media pages (e.g. Facebook, Linkedin) and may provide detailed information such as the subject’s name, address, telephone number and place of employment.1
