2022/24817 - AnonIB

REQUEST

I would like to ask about a "revenge porn" website that is known as AnonIB or "“anon-posted message board”. It is an explicit image-sharing website broken down by area and in some cases institutions like universities.

Please can you tell me:

Since January 2014 how many women have come forward to the force to say they were a victim of this website, i.e. images of them had appeared on it without their consent?

Please provide the number of victims who have come forward each year since 2014.

Have any arrests been made in relation to these complaints? Was anyone charged? If so, please provide the charges and the date of the charge.

If the investigation was closed, please tell me when?

Was there a national law enforcement authority that helped the force co-ordinate these investigations? If so, what was it?
