A question about revenge porn.

I’m Shingo Lee (Shingori), a columnist. You must be feeling extremely anxious. I often film intimate videos myself, but whenever I post them on social media, I always get the other person’s consent in writing beforehand. Uploading intimate footage to social media without permission is bound to cause trouble. Normally, you would identify the person through social media and then consider taking legal action. In this case, however, it sounds like you suspect someone you’ve actually met. If I knew how you found out they might be doing this, I might be able to offer some advice, but it’s difficult to say much based on the current information. Saying, “I heard you’re selling a video of us on a site that sells intimate videos,” might deter them. However, it could put you at a disadvantage if you later decide to take legal action. I think it would be best to consult a lawyer. Initial consultations are available for 5,000 yen. These days, some legal consultation offices also offer advice via LINE. If you’re unsure where to go, try searching for “Houterasu.”

Maezawa from the President’s Office will answer as well. > Is there any way to find out whether videos of me have been uploaded online? Basically, I don’t think there’s any easy way to find out. You would probably need to register with various paid websites yourself and search through them extensively. > I later found out that this person had previously engaged in revenge porn, which led to a lawsuit, and that they had been sued. Try to somehow find the lawyer who represented the other party at the time and consult with them. They may be able to suggest something useful. For example, they may know where the videos were sold or have some idea of the methods used. It might be a good idea to pay for a consultation or formally retain them. > I’m worried that my videos may also be being sold online. There’s no point dwelling on what has already happened. From now on, I think you should be careful and refuse to let anyone record videos.
