Noble Lords may remember that I tried to address the problem of semen images in my Private Member’s Bill. Sometimes sickeningly referred to as “tributes”, this is when men degrade women’s images with semen, whether real or AI generated. As our law stands currently, the definition of “intimate state” means that, if a woman is not nude or participating in a sexual act, her only legal recourse if this image is shared is by way of a communications or harassment offence. It is vital that this rapidly growing form of abuse is brought into the scope of the pre-existing requesting and sharing offences, as well as the new taking offence.
