The judgment follows the landmark civil case victory of YouTube celebrity Chrissy Chambers in 2018, who settled out of court with a man who secretly recorded and uploaded videos of her to the internet. Ann Olivarius, the lawyer who represented Chambers in the earlier case, said of this ruling, “I’m delighted about this judgment. Bring as many cases like this as you can. Image based abuse has got to stop.”
