However, our current law is not fit for purpose in relation to this. Our current law requires intent from the perpetrator of this type of image-based sexual abuse. This bill, brought by Louisa Wall, would get rid of the mens rea, or intention element, of this offence, because it is implicit that, in the sharing of an intimate image without consent, that is an act of abuse. Some may argue that there is some implicit form in the existing offence; however, as those who have practised in criminal law will understand, when you prosecute an offence, you have to prosecute each limb of the offence, and proving the mens rea of an offence is a barrier which prosecutors need to overcome in order to have a successful prosecution of an offence. That is why removing that barrier, when so clearly an offence has been committed, improves the law and also improves access to justice for the victims or survivors of that particular offence. So I think that it is significant and it will improve the law as it stands.
