Nude photo website sparks child porn fears after victim claims she was turned away by police

Hundreds of women and young girls have had nude photos and videos of themselves shared online without permission, by a site that specifically targets their locations.

One victim told 7 News she feared the site promoted child pornography.

Jenni Russell, 21, had no idea she was being stalked online, until she got a message from a stranger.

“It’s horrible, absolutely horrible,” she said.

“And these girls don’t even know about it.

“I’m lucky this girl messaged me and told me about it.

It was a website where people were sharing nude photos and videos of women and young girls.


“There was a thread of myself… of people requesting nude photos but, thank god, there’s nothing of myself on there.

Ms Russell said she came across all different folders containing photos of girls from high schools across Australia.

“Henley High was on there”

Jenni is concerned some of the images are of children.

“I drove straight to the police station and told them there’s possible child pornography I would like to report,” she said.

“Basically got turned away and told to report it online."

Legal experts warn against distributing nude photos without the subject’s consent.

“If it’s an explicit nude, that offence carries a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment,” Olivia Fantis told 7 News.

South Australian Police have said the website is not under investigation at this stage, but anyone who believes they are a victim should report the matter online.
