摘要

The term image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) encompasses the non-consensual generation, acquisition, and distribution of private sexual media. A taxonomic framework of IBSA has been outlined, which separates five behaviours, each with distinct characteristics, motivators, and impacts, which are viewed as non-hierarchical in nature and of equal importance (Fido & Harper, Non-consensual image-based sexual offending: Bridging legal and psychological perspectives. Palgrave, 2020; Harper et al., Aggression and Violent Behavior, 58, 101547, 2021; McGlynn et al., Feminist Legal Studies, 25, 25–46, 2017). The non-consensual sharing of intimate images (NCSII; so-called ‘revenge pornography’) involves the distribution of explicit images, often—but not always—following the breakdown of a relationship. Threatening to share intimate images to coerce victims into a secondary behaviour (sextortion). Upskirting involves the capturing of intimate images surreptitiously for the purposes of humiliation or one’s own and others’ sexual gratification. Sexualised deepfake abuse refers to the use of artificial intelligence to manipulate somebody’s likenesses for the purpose of creating sexual content. Finally, cyber-flashing entails sharing unsolicited explicit images via digital platforms, which has commonly been referred to as sending ‘dick pics’ by popular media when conducted by men. This chapter discusses each behaviour in turn, and in doing so draws upon psycho-legal literature relevant to societal judgments and beliefs about IBSA, motivators to perpetrate IBSA, and key debates within this emerging field. Whilst discussed separately, it’s important to note these behaviours can overlap/co-occur.
