A woman was awarded almost £100,000 ($120,000) from a UK court for image-based abuse in what’s thought to be the first time in England and Wales that a judge has awarded compensation for a case of its kind.
Judge Justine Thornton criticized the use of the term “revenge porn” in her ruling, saying it “conveys the impression that a victim somehow deserved what happened to them.” The ruling uses the term “image-based abuse” instead.
