Under the new proposals, individuals who share 'deepfakes' - explicit images or videos which have been manipulated to look like someone without that person's consent - could be jailed.
"Our message is very clear - we want girls, women, to have full confidence in the law and we want those who abuse and harass and intimidate them to feel the full force of the law," he told broadcasters.In a statement, the deputy PM added:"We must do more to protect women and girls, from people who take or manipulate intimate photos in order to hound or humiliate them.
Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan added:"With these latest additions to the bill, our laws will go even further to shield women and children, who are disproportionately affected, from this horrendous abuse once and for all." More than 28,000 reports of disclosing private sexual images without consent were recorded by police between April 2015 and December 2021.The Law Commission had called for the changes, saying criminal offences had not kept pace with technology and failed to protect all victims, while perpetrators evaded justice.
