TAKING OF SEXUAL VIDEOS WITHOUT CONSENT


07-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Asking for a friend. She recently flew back to her home country and met up with her boyfriend(who is now her ex). They slept together and she stated that during that time, the guy took videos and photos of the act, to which my friend protested. The guy then apparently deleted them at my friend's insistence. However, when my friend went back abroad for her work, they separated and the guy who initially told my friend that he had deleted the videos and photo, showed her sister and her now girlfriend the scandalous footage and images to which they are now berating my friend because they said she allowed it happen and basically aggravated the guy's current girlfriend because they were already together when that happened. The guy's sister, on the other hand, is threatening to spread the videos and show it to my friend's grandmother and father as she also have some other dispute with my friend's family about gossiping that is a case which is already being taken with legal action.

The issue is really very serious, it is advised to approach the local police officials for such criminal act wherein the other person will be prosecuted under relevant provision of law and action will be taken against all which includes arrest of the culprits.

The first step your friend should take is lodge an FIR for offences under IPC and Information Technology Act. The next step would be is to get an injunction order against this guy and whoever has threatened to circulate the video, from circulating the video.

file a police complaint alleging the recording of videos without your consent which will amount to an offense under section 354 C of Indian Penal Code i.e voyeurism. apart from that you should also file a complaint at the cyber police station having the jurisdiction and file a complaint under section 66E of the Information technology act. once this is done, we have to submit an application before the court in the nature of injunction for removal and deletion of the video.
