Little is also known about the gender of perpetrators and victims and the intersections of other forms of discrimination and disadvantage on the grounds of race, age, socioeconomic status, and sexuality.…”

Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) refers to a range of behaviors where digital technologies are used to facilitate both virtual and face-to-face sexually based harms. Such behaviors include online sexual harassment, gender- and sexuality-based harassment, cyberstalking, image-based sexual exploitation, and the use of a carriage service to coerce a victim into an unwanted sexual act. This article reviews the current state of knowledge on these different dimensions, drawing on existing empirical studies. While there is a growing body of research into technology-facilitated harms perpetrated against children and adolescents, there is a dearth of qualitative and quantitative research on TFSV against adults. Moreover, few of the existing studies provide reliable data on the nature, scope, and impacts of TFSV. Preliminary studies, however, indicate that some harms, much like sexual violence more broadly, may be predominantly gender-, sexuality-, and age-based, with young women being overrepresented as victims in some categories. This review collects the empirical evidence to date regarding the prevalence and gender-based nature of TFSV against adults and discusses the implications for policy and programs, as well as suggestions for future research.

“…Research suggests that adolescents and young adults seem to engage in sexting more than older adults (Currin, Hubach, Sanders, & Hammer, 2016;Gámez-Guadix, Almendros, Borrajo, & Calvete, 2015;Wiederhold, 2011). Sexting has received considerable media attention that highlights concerns with morality and with legal ramifications, particularly with regard to the exchange of sexually explicit images involving minors (Chalfen, 2009;Lippman & Campbell, 2014).…”

“…They use sexting as a medium to flirt and to have fun with their relationship partner, but also to initiate sexual activity (Henderson & Morgan, 2011;Hudson et al, 2014). In some cases, however, intimate partners may aggressively coerce each other into sexting behaviours (Drouin et al, 2015;Van Ouytsel, Van Gool, Walrave, Ponnet, & Peeters, 2015) and cause online sexual victimisation (Gámez-Guadix, et al, 2015).…”

The Saudi Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, or the Religious Police as it is commonly known in the west, has dealt with 1834 incidents of women being blackmailed by men in 2014 and of those 22% (N= 403) were initiated using Social Network Sites (SNS). In light of the reality about these crimes, this study asked the following questions: (1) Are Saudi women concerned about their privacy in SNS? (2) Are Saudi women worried about falling victim to blackmail in SNS? (3) Do Saudi women know how to change the privacy settings in SNS? (4) Are Saudi women comfortable with communicating across gender lines in SNS? To address these questions, qualitative interviews with 16 women who used Facebook regularly and a focus group discussion with another group of 10 Saudi female students were conducted. The findings of the study show that the Saudi women interviewed appeared concerned about their privacy in Facebook, worried about falling victim to blackmail, knew how to change the privacy settings and are not comfortable with communicating across gender lines. This suggests that the participants in this study are not the likely victims of blackmail crimes. Further research is needed to understand the profile of the victims of blackmail and the root cause of these crimes.
