Revenge porn threats should be made illegal after the murder of Alice Ruggles, a domestic homicide review has recommended.

Ms Ruggles, 24, was killed by her jealous ex-partner Trimaan Dhillon in October 2016 after he had previously threatened to release intimate photos of her when she called off their relationship.

Dhillon, a Lance Corporal at the time who trained with the Special Reconnaissance Service, was jailed for life following a trial at Newcastle Crown Court in April 2017.

Revenge porn - which is the sharing of private, sexual photos with the purpose of causing embarrassment - became an offence in 2015 and those found guilty face a prison sentence of up to two years.

According to the UK's Revenge Porn Helpline, there has been a huge year-on-year increase in reported incidents, with the hotline receiving just over 500 reports in 2015 and more than 1000 in 2017.
