Revenge Porn Is Not Considered A Crime In Ireland

For those of you who do not know, revenge porn is still not illegal in Ireland.

The Department of Justice has just revealed that the Law Reform Commision is on its way to produce a report on cybercrime which will help inform the legislation regarding this area in the future. Currently on a few aspects of revenge porn are covered under the current law set in the country.

The gap in the law occurs because of Section 10 which states that harassment can occur via various means but it needs to be persistent. Therefore uploading such content does not fall under the applied current law.
