This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It is already an offence to disclose a private sexual photograph or film without the consent of the individual who appears, if this is done with the intention of causing the individual distress: www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/2/section/33/enacted

We could accept a petition calling for this offence to be amended so that it applies whether or not the perpetrator intended to cause distress to the victim.
