For the first time, a New Zealand court has made revenge porn a crime.

A New Zealander got revenge on his girlfriend for breaking up by posting their home video on a porn site. After that, she was diagnosed with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The girl turned to a special agency for help, but her request was rejected on the grounds that sexual violence based on images is not recognized in the law. The victim sued for many years and demanded that the video be removed from the network, and also sought compensation for moral damage. In the end, she was able to win the trial.
