To ask His Majesty's Government how many deprivation orders have been issued in cases of conviction for revenge porn offences.
Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice, Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
The numbers of all types of deprivation orders issued in cases of conviction for offences of “Disclosing private, sexual images” under section 33, Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 and “Sharing intimate images without consent” under section 66B, Sexual Offences Act 2003 is as follows.
2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | Jan-Sept 2024 |
5 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 8 | 3 | 17 |
These figures relate to all instances that a deprivation order was issued to a defendant for these offences.
The Government is committed to halving violence against women and girls and has introduced legislation to criminalise several types of intimate image abuse, and to extend the powers of the court to issue deprivation orders in these cases. We are exploring what can be done to encourage the use of deprivation orders in cases such as these.
