It's the first intimate image complaint decision from the B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal under the Intimate Images Protection Act.
A B.C. man has been ordered to pay $5,000 to another man he’d never met for sharing intimate images of him online.According to the April 30 decision, BDS said MW shared intimate images of him without his consent and claimed $5,000 in damages.
The woman complained she had been harassed online, and that she was so distressed she had considered self-harm. “The screenshots in evidence show CS was also a target of BDS on X,” Regehr said. “MW admits that he provided them both BDS’s name and some of the photos BDS had shared with him.”What is an intimate image? Regehr first had to decide if the images could be considered intimate.
“BDS’s underwear are small but not more revealing than many swimsuits,” Regehr said. “It is taken for a flirtatious or seductive purpose."
