Emily Atack has shared a spew of horrific, sexually explicit messages she has received over Instagram, from a man who she says harasses her everyday.
Posting the messages on her Instastory, the actress and comedian, 32, who has spoken about the persistent sexual messages she receives from trolls before, called for Instagram to put an end to such behaviour.
In a caption which overlaid the disgusting communication, The Inbetweeners star said: "How is this s**t still allowed?
"How do we make this illegal? This is a platform where children could easily receive this abuse.
"I am harassed everyday by this man. I block and block, and he creates new accounts and gets into my private messages. Everyday."
She concluded the first caption with an order for Instagram bosses, saying: "Sort it out @instagram".
On a third pic of the vile messages, Emily said: "Abuse that no one is talking about."
Speaking last month, Emily said the unwanted trolling starts as soon as she wakes up and she receives pictures of “about 10 penises I have not asked to see” before breakfast.
The actress says the unwanted messages can take their toll, adding: “If someone sends me a sexually explicit message, I’m like, ‘Why have they said that to me?’
“It makes you question who you are and why you’re single.”
The Celebrity Juice team caption has also revealed she had to turn to the police for help after she received rape threats online.
She received sick threats from an obsessive online stalker who had figured out where she lived.
The worried star turned to the authorities for assistance – but says she is also targeted online by many other obsessive fans who send her unsolicited sexual content.
However Emily was left disappointed and anxious when online privacy rules ultimately led the police to a dead end and the man who threatened her could not be tracked down.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Emily said: “There was this one time, things were really really bad, and I did involve the police. It was quite stalker-ish — this person saying they knew where I lived, saying what they were going to do to me, even my family. I got the police involved and it was the last time."
She is campaigning for a change in the law to make such lewd interactions to be outlawed – similar to how people who flash others on the street would be arrested and charged.
She argues that the internet is similar to the street or the office as people spend so much of their lives online and that it is unacceptable for women to ‘just accept’ that some deranged men will send them graphic content.
Emily claims she receives up to 200 messages per day that feature explicit or sexual content.
