How sick porn gangs draw up ‘hit lists' of women to steal nude snaps & target victims using creepy stalker-style tactics
Young men trading X-rated snaps of girls as young as 16 are volunteering to 'catfish' women, a shock Sun investigation has found SICKOS IN THE SHADOWS How sick porn gangs draw up 'hit lists' of women to steal nude snaps & target victims using creepy stalker-style tactics IN shadowy bedrooms across the UK, perverted criminals are drawing up 'hit lists' of unsuspecting women in their local area, so their nude pictures can be stolen to order by twisted online pals. A Sun investigation has found how these ghouls are not only using sinister tactics to steal the intimate photos of targets as young as 16, but are tracking every detail of their day-to-day lives in a disturbing new crime trend that will terrify every parent. Advertisement 6 Hundreds of unsuspecting women have fallen victims to online sickos who share their nude images online, a Sun investigation has found Credit: Getty 6 Campaigner Jess Davies has warned that people's 'sons, brothers and friends are trading these photos like Pokémon cards' Credit: Rhiannon Holland Whistleblowers reveal that young men are trading the X-rated snaps "like Pokémon cards' on secret chat rooms, with thousands of potential victims targeted. One group we uncovered is feared to contain details of almost 700 women in Kent and is now being investigated by police, while high-profile sports stars are also believed to be targeted in similarly shocking chat rooms reported across the UK. The Kent chat room alone is believed to have been used by 132 men and boys to request and swap intimate images of women in the area. Advertisement It was discovered on the popular messaging site Discord – which is used by 34.8 million Brits monthly and markets to young boys and gamers. Users were reportedly posting 'wins' lists and 'want' lists – boasting which women they had images of and requesting others whose photos they wanted to get their hands on. Other men are said to have been offering to fulfill trades by offering to 'catfish' girls online to get hold of the images. Whistleblowers claim three arrests have been made so far, and that the server has been taken down by Kent Police. When asked to comment on the chat room, Kent Police said: 'On 21 November 2024, Kent Police received a report that an intimate image of a woman had been shared online without her consent. Advertisement 'Officers are currently investigating, and a 34-year-old man from Sittingbourne was arrested on suspicion of harassment. He has since been released on bail whilst enquiries continue.' The force refused to make any further comment on the server's wider impact. Georgia Harrison opens up about overcoming her revenge porn ordeal and difficult journey Richard Garside, director of The Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, said he 'would not be surprised' if similar photo-exchanging sites existed on this scale across a wider part of the UK. An identical investigation took place in 2023 after reports that a Discord server was being used to anonymously trade images of women in Pembrokeshire. The server allegedly contained over 1,200 images of 217 women and girls in the area, with the youngest being just 16 years old. Advertisement The Sun reached out to Dyfed-Powys Police, who said: 'Three men were arrested on suspicion of disclosing private sexual photographs with intent to cause distress and were released on bail. 'Further enquiries led to a caution being given to one of the men and no further action being taken against the other two. 'Although the investigation is now closed, it can be re-opened if any new evidence comes to light.' Stalker forums Another website has reportedly come under police investigation after it emerged men were using it to share the private information of hundreds of women. Speaking to The Sun, one whistleblower alleged that images of a popular female sports team appeared on the site. Advertisement He said: 'There was a UK-wide server and it was basically the same as this Kent case. And I wish I was joking – they put up these girls' work times, the way they go home and where they go out." The site has since been taken down. Another website The Sun uncovered allows men to share and request photos of women within location-based servers. I wish I was joking – they put up these girls' work times, the way they go home and where they go out Whistleblower Online abuse of this kind, better known as revenge porn, is classified as a criminal offence thanks to the Criminal Justice and Courts Act of 2015. Speaking to The Sun this month, former model Jess Davies revealed her horror at finding naked photos - which had been taken of her when she was asleep - in a group chat on her boyfriend's phone. Advertisement The women's rights campaigner, 32, warned: "People's sons, brothers and friends are trading these photos like Pokémon cards and the women in the images have no idea that someone they trust is doing this." Revenge porn is defined as 'the sharing of private, sexual materials, either photos or videos, of another person without their consent and with the purpose of causing embarrassment or distress." The Government also states that those guilty of the crime could face up to two years behind bars – but evidence points towards a failure from cops to crack down on perpetrators. Speaking to The Sun, head of crime and justice at Policy Exchange and former Detective Chief Inspector David Spencer said: 'Cases where predators operate online are a real challenge for the police who are woefully behind the times when it comes to technology. 'A sea change in the approach of the police and the criminal justice system can't come soon enough.' Advertisement National crisis 6 Netflix's Adolescence sheds light on the dangers of private messaging sites Credit: AP 6 Online ghouls are even posting details of target's day-to-day lives and routines Credit: Getty Netflix's blockbuster Adolescence recently received critical acclaim for shining a light on the dangers of private messaging sites that are influencing young men like Discord, Telegram and the online game Roblox. The sites, which generally market to kids, have been found to be hubs for misogyny, sadism and sexual abuse – with people sharing shocking content such as guides on 'how to rape a girl'. The four-part limited series follows the family of 13-year-old boy Jamie Miller, who brutally murders a young girl after consuming the harmful content. Advertisement Stephen Graham, who wrote the show and stars as Jamie's father, said the idea was inspired by the online 'manosphere'. 'I read an article about a young boy stabbing a young girl,' the actor explained. 'And then maybe a couple of months later, on the news there was [another] young boy who'd stabbed a young girl, and if I'm really honest with you, they hurt my heart.' He added: 'It's just being mindful of the fact that not only we parent our children, and not only the school educates our children. 'But also there's influences that we have no idea of that are having profound effects on our young culture, profound effects, positive and extremely negative. So it's having a look at that and seeing that we're all accountable.' Advertisement What is revenge porn? By Kevin Adjei-Darko Sickos who post explicit snaps or videos of exes online without consent are being hunted down and locked up as Britain cracks down on revenge porn. The vile trend, which involves sharing private sexual images to humiliate or control someone, became a crime in 2015. But a fresh law under the Online Safety Act 2023 has made it even tougher — now, prosecutors no longer need to prove the intent was to cause distress. If you share an intimate image without permission, you're breaking the law. Creeps also face jail for creating or spreading deepfake porn - twisted AI-generated nudes - using someone's face without their knowledge. Offenders can get up to two years in prison, slapped with fines, and even end up on the sex offenders register. Love Island's Georgia Harrison made headlines after ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear was jailed for secretly filming them having sex and sharing it on OnlyFans. Her fight has helped drive legal change and support for victims. Help is out there. The Revenge Porn Helpline (0345 6000 459) offers confidential advice and can help get sick content taken down fast. The show has also captured the attention of multiple MPs and officials – with Daventry MP Stuart Andrew saying 'Adolescence has got everyone talking', and that it 'demonstrates the reach of such productions'. It even sparked discussion in PMQs after Sir Keir Starmer revealed to The Commons that he had been watching Adolescence with his own teenage children. Later, he told BBC 5Live that the UK 'may have a problem with boys and young men that we need to address.' The PM also revealed he planned to have a chat with former England football manager Gareth Southgate, who recently gave a BBC lecture saying 'toxic influencers trick young men.' 6 Former England coach Gareth Southgate has spoken out about the dangers of toxic influencers Credit: BBC Advertisement 6 Andrew Tate has been blamed for the rise of toxic behaviour and sexual violence Credit: AP Influencer Andrew Tate has been blamed for the rise of toxic masculinity and sexual violence, and was even referenced in the Netflix drama. An Ofcom spokesperson told The Sun: 'The prosecution of individuals who post illegal content online is a matter for law enforcement agencies. 'This month, new duties came into force under the Online Safety Act that mean tech companies must now take steps to protect their UK users from illegal content, including intimate image abuse. 'Ofcom's job is to make sure platforms do that, and we're currently assessing industry compliance with these new laws.' Advertisement The Sun reached out to Discord, who chose not to comment.

‘Three things in life are certain – death, taxes and your OnlyFans nudes being leaked': how women's sexuality is hijacked online
Jess Davies writes about her own experience of having intimate photos shared without her consent in her new book No One Wants To See Your D*ck, which is an urgent update on toxic, misogynistic behaviour online Today at 21:30 Hours before I sit down to read Jess Davies' book No One Wants To See Your D*ck: A Handbook for Survival in the Digital World, I spot a video on Instagram that initially appears to be (but isn't) satire. In it, a young podcaster explains at length why he doesn't want his girlfriend to 'have' to work, arguing his career is more important than hers. Reading the Welsh activist Davies' debut, I'm reminded that my first instinct – to file the video under 'yet another misogynistic idiot online' – is a way of surviving as a woman on social media. I know it's the tip of a horrifying iceberg, but there's little I can do about it.

Presenter whose intimate pics were leaked fights back
TV presenter Jess Davies was just 15 years old when images of her in her underwear were shared around her town. She had exchanged photos with a boy she fancied, and he had forwarded them on to others without her consent. She was in art class when her phone started buzzing with messages from older boys. "Nice pictures," read one. "I didn't think you were that type of girl," came another. "It turns out my images had been Bluetoothed around the whole sixth form centre, which quickly got shared around my school, then around my hometown and eventually ended up on the phones of the men's football team in the town," said Jess. Warning: Contains sexually explicit language and themes "It's a small town so people knew who I was and knew I was underage and yet still flashed my images around to people that were in their 20s or 30s," Jess said. Eventually news of the images reached her grandmother who told her parents. This was to be the first of several incidents Jess experienced in her teens and 20s that would later inform her women's rights campaigning. Her 2022 BBC documentary Deepfake Porn: Could You Be Next? was used to lobby the UK government to criminalise sexually explicit deepfakes in the Online Safety Act. Now she has written a book, No One Wants To See Your D*ck: A Handbook for Survival in the Digital World, for which she has had to explore everything from sexual harassment to cyber-flashing and catfishing, and tells of men on well-known, easy-to-access forums requesting explicit deepfakes of their mothers and teachers. Others are uploading explicit photos of women they know and asking other men to write rape fantasies about them, Jess said. "These aren't some weirdos in their mum's basement who are chronically online, never leave their homes and don't have a social life, no, these are people's friends and people's husbands," said Jess, who lives in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan. "There's a generation that's growing up online and it's a generation who don't see women as whole humans who have rights. "It's a pandemic of misogyny that is unfolding online and isn't being taken seriously." Jess, who grew up in the seaside town Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, said she had dealt with unwanted male attention since she was a child. "I developed my body when I was really young and started wearing a bra when I was in year four so by the time I was in year six I would get comments from grown adult men about me being jailbait," she said. "It's never really spoken about how girls who develop early are just treated so differently, all of a sudden it's like you're seen as 'you're mature now'." When her photos were leaked at 15 her parents were supportive but Jess said she got her first taste of victim-blaming from others around her. "So much shame is put on the victim. It's like, 'why did you take that? Why did you share that?' I'm like, 'why did someone share that without my consent? And why are grown adult men passing it around?'." Three years later Jess was a glamour model. She said it was an attempt to "reclaim a bit of power back". "You've all seen my images, you all have this idea of me, so why not make some money out of this and make a career out of it?" she explained. When she started out modelling she decided she was only going to do lingerie and swimwear shoots - but she said this was also taken out of her control. She said she agreed to pose in a mesh swimsuit on the agreement her nipples would be edited out. A couple of months later a man messaged her on social media to complement her on the images. She searched for them online and discovered the agreement had been broken and her nipples were on show. "From then on it just kind of spiralled really," she said. "You're trying to grapple with holding on to some kind of power and holding on to some kind of boundaries but other people keep taking them from you." Jess said before she was even 20 she had "just kind of accepted that this is just how it is". But then she was let down by someone she had hoped she could trust. "I really liked this guy," she recalled. "He'd made a few comments about telling his friends that I was 'Jess from Nuts magazine' and you think 'okay, you see me through that lens', but you brush it off because you like them." One morning after staying over at his she woke with a weird sense that something was not right. While he was in the shower she decided to check his phone. "It opened on to a group chat and there was an image of me totally naked in his bed and asleep - he'd sent that in the group chat," she said. "He had a single bed, so I was like, 'you would have had to stand up to take that, it's such a conscious decision'." She quickly deleted the image from his phone, knowing those who had received it may have already saved it and forwarded it on. What do you say to someone who has done that to you? "When he came back I still didn't say anything because I was just so ashamed and embarrassed, I didn't like confrontation and I didn't want to argue," said Jess. It was while studying sociology at university that Jess made her first foray into feminism and began really questioning her experiences. "I had this sense of anger, I just felt it wasn't fair that women were being treated this way and women losing total control over their images online," she said. It was only once she started speaking to other women and experts in the field while making her documentary that she started to let go of the shame and blame she had carried for years. "That was really life-changing for me," she said. "[I realised] there was something here that we can fight for and try and change things, which is what I've been doing ever since." 'Headphones don't rape women' Influencers driving extreme misogyny, say police Andrew Tate: The self-proclaimed misogynist Jess, 32, said one of the many reasons she wrote her book was to call out victim-blaming which she said remained "rife". "You shouldn't have gone to that house party, you shouldn't have sent that photo, or don't wear that short skirt because you're going to get attention," she said, were remarks that only further solidified sexist attitudes and removed the blame from the perpetrator. She said she was glad when Netflix's Adolescence started a conversation on the so-called manosphere but wants the conversation to go further. "What we're missing is the teenage girls who are actually being affected by this," she said. "We're expecting them to be able to navigate this male entitlement at a very young age, where they're being pressured to send images and being turned into explicit deep fakes. "We're putting all our attention on giving these workshops to teenage boys and talking about saving them from being radicalised, which is important, but no-one's talking about what to do for teenage girls." Jess wants to see more money put into educating young people about navigating digital spaces, arguing the occasional workshop was not enough to counteract the thousands of hours teens spend online potentially being exposed to misogynistic content. Men also need to stop being so defensive and call out bad behaviour in other men, she said. "I always get in my [social media] comments, 'not all men'. Of course, not all men - but you're just shutting down the conversation," she said. "Instead of being defensive, actually listen to women... read books by women, listen to podcasts that are presented by women, watch documentaries that are presented by women." She said parents also needed to be more "switched on". "If Adolescence shocked you that's shocking to me, because that's basic, basic level stuff," she said. "That is skimming the surface of what's happening in these spaces."
