Over 1 in 10 young people between 15 and 18 have had sexual images of themselves shared online without their consent.
That’s according to a study on cyberbullying and sexting among young people.
According to the Irish Independent, the issue was raised at the World Anti-Bullying Forum at DCU yesterday.
The study found that while 24% of young people said they had shared a sexual image to someone by choice – 13% said that they’d had images shared without their consent once or more.
