Boosting the safety of women has been a priority for Alex as Cheltenham’s MP.
Alex led a successful campaign in Parliament to double the maximum sentence for stalking, and Alex was the Minister responsible for leading the Domestic Abuse Bill through the House of Commons.
This week Alex has announced new measures that mean abusers, predators and bitter ex-partners who share intimate images online without the victim’s consent will face prosecution – and potentially even prison.
Amendments to the Online Safety Bill will overhaul current ‘revenge porn’ laws so that the prosecution will no longer need to prove that perpetrators shared sexual images for gratification or to cause distress.
These changes have been backed by Georgia Harrison, the ex-Love Island contestant who suffered the humiliation of seeing private images splashed over the internet by her ex-partner.
