The Chronicle
|August 30, 2025
A “concerning” increase in revenge porn incidents in the Northumbria Police area has been linked to an overall rise in reported cases of sexual offences.
According to a recently published Northumbria Police and Crime and Commissioner report, there has been a 16% rise in reported cases of sexual offences between May 2024 and May 2025.
This equates to an increase from 5,073 to 5,865 incidents. A further breakdown in the figures shows a 48% in “other sexual crimes”, equating to 437 cases, which has been connected to new crime codes relating to sharing and threatening to share sexual images of another person.
National figures from the Revenge Porn Helpline also revealed a 20.9% increase in image abuse reports across 2024.
