Intimate Images and Cyber-Protection law
Victims of cyberbullying and unwanted sharing of intimate images now have options for dealing with those who want to harm them.
Nova Scotians can now access supports, and alternatives to criminal prosecution under the province’s Intimate Images and Cyber-Protection Act. The new law came into effect on July 5, 2018.
Victims and parents can also seek a protection order for alleged offenders to stop, take down a webpage or prohibit further contact with the victim. They may also seek compensation.
