Someone shared a video of me masturbating online
DEAR DEIDRE: SOMEONE has sent all my friends and family a video of me masturbating – I’m mortified.
I’m a 21-year-old man and agreed to have a late-night sex chat with a girl I fancied.
She was 19 and a friend of a friend, so I thought I could trust her.

She must have recorded me online without my knowledge.
Soon after, I met someone else, and the girl I had been chatting to was really hurt – even though we weren’t in a proper relationship.
She clearly decided to get her revenge by sharing the video. It shows my full face, so I can’t pretend it’s not me.
I’m so embarrassed and also terrified about who else might see the footage, and where it could end up.
I feel like such an idiot.
It’s the first time I’ve ever done this and I swear I’ll never do it again.

DEIDRE SAYS: You didn’t deserve this cruel revenge.
The girl might not be aware that she has broken the law – it’s now illegal to share intimate images or videos without someone’s consent.
Ask your mutual friend to intervene and tell her to stop sharing the video and to remove it.
You may also want to contact the Revenge Porn Helpline (currently only operating an email service) at revengepornhelpline.org.uk.
My support pack Staying Safe Online might also be helpful.
