Abstract
Online sexual harassment refers to a range of behaviours where digital technologies are used to facilitate both virtual and face-to-face sexually based harms. Online sexual harassment may constitute a number of criminal offences, depending on the nature of the online harassment. Whether the conduct constitutes a criminal offence or not, many victim-survivors experience these behaviours as a form of sexual violence. Throughout this guidance, we recognise and address the gendered nature of harms linked to online sexual harassment. Examples of online sexual harassment can be broadly split into the following areas: ● Unsolicited sexual images (e.g. someone sending an unsolicited image of their penis to someone else, often referred to as a ‘dick pic’) ● Unsolicited sexual videos ● Unsolicited sexual messages and comments ● Deliberately being shown pornography or sent links to pornographic content without consent ● Automated activities sending links to online pornography content (porn bots) 1. Unsolicited sexual content online refers to any sexual content shared online which is not wanted by the recipient. This could include content seen on apps, messaging services and websites which has not been sought out by the user. 2. Image-based sexual abuse refers to the non-consensual creation and/or distribution of sexual images. 3. Sexual coercion, threats and intimidation online could include a person receiving threats of a sexual nature or being coerced to engage in sexual behaviours on or offline via digital technologies. WHAT IS ONLINE SEXUAL HARASSMENT? While we make distinctions between these three categories for the sake of clarity, there are evident overlaps and links.
