Court rules victim of revenge porn entitled to help from ACC

From Morning Report, 7:15 am on 3 May 2023

A court has ruled that a woman who suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after a former partner shared a sex video on one of the world's largest porn sites, is entitled to help from ACC.

The woman's claim was declined by the agency in 2020 because it did not recognise the online abuse as a crime. Advocates say the landmark ruling could open the door for other victims of what's often called revenge porn.
