Revenge porn published about me — what now?
Criminal (Sr Art. 139h, max 2 years). Secure evidence, Helpwanted.nl (free + confidential), police report, platform takedown via NCMEC/Meta procedures, civil damages claim.
Revenge porn = publishing intimate images without consent. Since 1 Jan 2020 a separate criminal provision: Sr Art. 139h (max 2 years prison). Also for deepfakes: Sr Art. 139h was expanded in 2024 to AI-generated intimate images without consent. Four parallel tracks: criminal (police + prosecutor), platform takedown (Meta, X, TikTok, Pornhub have separate fast-track procedures), GDPR route (Art. 17 erasure at distributor), civil (preliminary injunction for stop + damages claim Art. 82). Helpwanted.nl is the first helpline — free, anonymous chat, experience with major platforms. NCMEC hash-matching works for minors worldwide. Don't pay: if the poster demands money → extortion (Sr Art. 318). Stop all communication. Psychological support: Centrum Seksueel Geweld 0800-0188 (24/7) + Slachtofferhulp 0900-0101.
