Erotic images taken by two consenting adults and shared between two consenting adults, with a lot of respect & love on both sides, is not what revenge porn is about. Which is why the campaign ‘End Revenge Porn’ has been created. For petty thieves, revenge porn is a way to make a lot of fast cash, with the emphasis being on cash, they can be so determined to fulfill their delusions that they can keep going with their demands for years (see the example below).
For those higher up the crime scale it’s merely a business with hundreds of victims and for others it’s about giving vent to resentment and perhaps hidden anger and rejection as the pop musician Tulisa Contostavlos can testify, (read on)…..
End Revenge Porn is a campaign organized by the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative to provide support and advocacy for victims of revenge porn, or people whose intimate photographs and/or videos have been disseminated on the Internet without their consent.
Dr. Holly Jacobs was a victim of revenge porn for three and a half years. During those years, the police and FBI continuously refused to file criminal charges against her perpetrator on the grounds that there were technically no laws against what he was doing. After her perpetrator’s targeted behavior forced her to change jobs, go through several email addresses, legally change her name, deactivate all of her social media accounts, cancel her attendance to professional meetings, and restrict her from publishing in her field, she decided that there needed to be laws against it.
In August 2012, Dr. Jacobs started EndRevengePorn.org as a website to host a petition collecting signatures in favor of criminalizing revenge porn in the United States. The site also contained a survey that collected data regarding the prevalence of revenge porn and the effects that it had on its victims. These statistics were shared with legislators and the public to show just how much damage revenge porn could cause in one’s life and, thus, why there is a need to criminalize it.
“Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs
Over the past year, End Revenge Porn has turned into a national campaign that has attracted worldwide attention. It has expanded into a place of refuge where victims can obtain support, advice, and referrals to professionals (i.e., attorneys, a take down service) volunteering to help them. It has become the main source through which legislators, attorneys, and the press can be put in touch with key players in this movement and acquire more information regarding the issue and the laws relevant to it.
We are helping victims. We are changing laws. And we are educating the public and changing the collective opinion that society holds about revenge porn. This is only the beginning…..
Excerpt from a posting by @LondonBlackRevs & ‘The Guardian’ January 2015
The family of Julian Cole, 21, blame excessive force used by police for his injuries and say the police watchdog has been too slow in its investigation of the case. On 27 January, the chair of a powerful Commons committee and a candidate for London mayor backed the family and criticised the IPCC.
David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham, said: “This undermines our very civilisation. That a young athlete can have his neck snapped on a British street and a family who have lodged a formal complaint are still waiting 20 months later is a travesty. It’s an outrage to all parents in Britain. By now, if it involved normal civilians, you would expect answers to the most basic questions, such as, was it the police? If this case is not one that requires swift action, I just don’t understand what could be.”
Lammy said the IPCC needed reform: “This is another example of a desperate family left waiting for almost 20 months to understand how their son came to have his life devastated”
The night a young athlete was left paralysed & brain damaged
In the early hours of the morning on Sunday 6th May 2013, Julian and some of his friends who were enjoying a night-out at Elements Nightclub on Mill Street in Bedford were asked to leave. Initially they walked away but then Julian, seemingly intent on requesting a refund, returned alone to the club.
On returning to the venue, Julian was seized by security who immediately passed him over to several police officers present outside the club. Much of what took place is caught on CCTV but the crucial moments of what happened when the police officers took hold of Julian is not captured on CCTV.
Witnesses saw Julian dragged unconscious across the road by officers in the direction of a police van.
By this stage his neck had been broken; he had suffered a serious spinal injury and was unresponsive.
#Julian was lifted into the police van and driven to Greyfriar’s Police Station. He remained unresponsive and an ambulance was called. Julian suffered a severe brain injury due to a lack of oxygen reaching his brain and had a cardiac arrest.
Initially Julian was transferred to Bedford Hospital but he was then transferred to a hospital in Cambridge specialising in head injuries.
Julian had suffered a spinal injury called a ‘hangman’s fracture’. This kind of injury, as the name suggests, is associated with the sudden and violent pulling backwards of the head, usually when there is a counter force against the body.
Julian is now paralysed and has brain damage. He is resident in a care home because he needs 24 hour nursing care.
No budgetary investment in reforming the IPCC Chancellor?
