· 'Revenge Porn': A form of cyber-rape that involves the distribution of sexually explicit photos and/or videos of an individual (either real or photoshopped) on the Internet without permission. Revenge porn (i.e., involuntary porn) is usually posted by a scorned ex-lover or friend, in order to seek revenge after a relationship has gone sour.

· Revenge porn causes extreme emotional trauma. Victims of revenge porn are 'raped' over and over again. Each time they see a new site with the material up, they become aware of a new comment that has been posted, they are confronted about it by a concerned party, and/or they receive harassing communication from a 'fan' of theirs, it feels as though they are being violated all over again.
