Recommendation 7
7
Rejected
Amend the Crime and Policing Bill to make possession of non-consensual intimate images an offence.
Recommendation
The Government should bring forward an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill to make possession of NCII an offence, in addition to its creation. This will put NCII on the same footing as CSAM in how it is treated online and—we hope—will provide the necessary encouragement to IIPs to block or disrupt access to such content, including that which is hosted overseas. (Recommendation, Paragraph 57)
Government response summary AI-generated
