The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPI) provides victims of revenge pornography the relief to initiate a civil claim for damages against a perpetrator. Section 99(1) of POPI expressly allows a victim the right to claim non-patrimonial damages against the responsible party. The accused can be charged with the intentional distribution of private sexual photographs or films without the prior consent of the individual and/or distributing the sexual photos and films to cause harm and emotional distress to the victim. If the perpetrator is convicted of any of these charges, he/she can be sentenced to a maximum sentence of two years or a fine of up to R 150 000.00. If the victim is identified by being named or the footage is not blurred, this sentence can increase to a maximum of four years in prison or a fine of up to R 300 000.00
The Protection from Harassment Act 17 of 2011 also allows a victim of revenge pornography to apply for a protection order, which in turn is paired with a suspended warrant of arrest.

My name is Zen Williams, I am here to share my story with you so that you can find the courage and escape the silence and abuse you are living in.
I underwent a very traumatic few years under the actions of a sociopath/narcissist who called my family & friends and they all worked against me. His aim was to book me into a mental institution. He destroyed my life, my homes, my jobs, my income, my credit record. It got so bad that I had to move Provinces and fled Cape Town and moved to Port Elizabeth, I lost my children due to being so far away, and the distance between us is extremely hard on them.
He hacked my phones, knowing all the data and used it against me to play with my mind and my life. He also took all my data and published it online which included nudity under my real name.
I want to encourage anyone who is facing physical abuse, emotional or mental abuse, narcissistic abuse to come forward. There are channels that can help you, you can do this.
You have the right to live a peaceful life. You have the right to feel safe. You have the right to privacy. You have the right to open a case against your abuser and seek justice. You are not alone. You can do this.
