If someone trusts you enough to share images or videos of themselves in compromising situations, that can't be used against them to solicit a bribe.
To a certain extent every consenting adult wants to spice up their bedroom life and surprise their partner with something that will excite them. Therefore if someone trusts you that much with their body, you cannot use that against them to get what you want, it's blackmail and it's a criminal offence. Yesterday, we woke to nudes of the Speaker of  the Free State Legislature Zanele Sifuba all over headlines and social media. This after her Nigerian Ben 10 demanded R300 000 from her or else he would leak the video of Sifuba musturbating. It is alleged that Sifuba refused to give the man money and that's how her private business landed on social media.

A CRIMINAL CHARGE

Victims may now lay criminal charges against anyone who distributes or shares this material on social media, in text messages, via any electronic communication or on pornographic websites. This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa signed amendments to the Films and Publications Bill into law, which will further clamp down on hate speech, the dissemination of child pornography and "revenge porn'.

FINE OR IMPRISONMENT

According to the NPA, the accused can be charged with the intentional distribution of private sexual photographs or films without the prior consent of the individual and/or distributing the sexual photos and films to cause harm and emotional distress to the victim. Anyone who breaks the revenge porn laws in South Africa and is found guilty of sharing or distributing revenge porn will face time behind bars or will be fined. The Film and Publication Board issued a statement explaining that If the victim can't be identified in the content, the perpetrator could face two years in jail or pay a fine of up to R150 000. However, if the victim can be identified in any way, the perpetrator could spend four years in prison or pay up to R300 000.
