If someone sends you a sext, never under any circumstances should you share it or forward it to other people.
That includes:
- Sending it to someone else – even “just one person”.
- Showing it to somebody else – even if they promise not to tell anyone they saw it.
- Posting it somewhere online – even if you’re confident the person in the photo or anyone they know won’t see it.
Why? Because forwarding, sharing and posting intimate images of someone else without their consent is against the law. It’s also just wrong, and can really hurt both the person who sent the sext and the people who share it with others.
