What legal actions can be taken against someone who shared a video without consent?
My ex is leaking my rape video to all my relatives and friends. He has gotten bail and has fled to a different state. The cyber police are unable to trace him, but his number is still active. Everyone has seen the video, and I work at the court, so I’m unable to face anyone. What remedies are available to me?
You have several legal remedies available to address the situation. First, report the incident to the local police and file a complaint under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology Act, such as Sections 67 and 67A, which deal with sharing obscene material without consent. Since the perpetrator has fled, inform the cybercrime unit for further investigation. Moreover, obtain a protection order to avoid further harassment. Consult a lawyer on filing a civil suit for damages and to study the possibilities of bringing justice to him even if he is already elsewhere.
You can file a complaint of violation of right to privacy and obscenity. You can also file a case on voyeurism or defamation if it has damaged your reputation. Insulting modesty of woman can also be initiated.
