Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many people have been convicted of sharing intimate images and given a custodial sentence.

The Ministry of Justice publishes data on offenders sentenced to immediate custody for offences relating to sharing intimate images, at criminal courts in England and Wales, in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, which can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics Quarterly: June 2024.

This can be accessed by navigating to the ‘2. Sentence Outcomes’ tab and using the following HO offence codes;

• 08815 - Sharing or threatening to share intimate photograph or film

• 17508 - Share photograph or film of person in intimate state without consent

Offences relating to sharing intimate images came into force in January 2024 and up to end of June 2024, 3 offenders were sentenced to immediate custody.
