The number of cases where someone discloses or threatens to disclose an intimate image has more than doubled with police recording 912 incidents last year - a rate of more than 17 a week. Threatening to send or share a revealing photo of someone without their consent is a crime in Scotland and anyone found guilty of the offence can face up to five years in prison.
The trend has been steadily increasing over the years with Police Scotland recording 421 in 2017/18 - the first year the offence was implemented.
Politicians and charities have called for tougher action on those committing image-based sexual abuse. Former Love Island contestant Zara McDermott has spoken about being a victim of the crime.
