Christina Orfanidou burst into tears with the new legal provision for revenge porn

Christina Orfanidou burst into tears as she recounts her own experience with revenge pornography.

The Ministry of Justice introduced revenge pornography as an independent criminal offence, that is, a felony.

This development justifies women who have fallen victim to vindictive pornography.

Christina Orfanidou was one of the women who spoke openly about her own revenge porn case.

Following this development, the former Big Brother contestant burst into tears through her Instagram stories.

“You can not imagine how happy today is for me,” she said in a video uploaded to Instagram.

“Finally, after so many years and so many girls who have had a bad time, the legislation has changed.

“I wish everything goes well.

“Well done girls. We finally made it.”

In September 2021, Orfanidou confessed that she had been blackmailed by her ex-partner.

“It was a relationship that had lasted three years. We lived together and went seriously,” she recounted on the Super Katerina show.

“At some point, however, I felt that our relationship was not developing properly.

“I discovered that my partner is dealing with things that I do not approve of or want in my future, and I decided to end our relationship, even though I was still in love with him.”

The former Big Brother contestant then added: “When I asked him to stop, he did not take it very well. After several months, when I continued my life with another person, he wanted revenge on me.”

In fact, the young girl stressed that her ex-partner sent a pink video with their highly personal, erotic moments to her next partner, wanting to punish her for their separation.

“In the beginning, his first move was to approach my then partner and send the video from his own cell phone to my new partner’s cell phone to break us up.”

At the same time, Orfanidou noted about the tragic situation she experienced: “He was already blackmailing me in the relationship. I found it difficult to separate from him.

“I had tried at some point to get on his cell phone, to delete all the staff we had,” she recounted.

Finally, she said: “Imagine that I wanted to marry this man. How could I have known that the situation would develop like this?”

The penalties

This legislative intervention comes to fill a “gap” in the Code, for an offence that is very common with technology.

The Minister of Justice had committed himself to this change on the occasion of the case of Stathis Panagiotopoulos.

Even in case of threat, imprisonment for one year is provided, while the sentence reaches up to 8 years in prison if posted on the internet or on social media.

If an adult publishes material concerning a minor or if it concerns an ex-partner or spouse, then the penalty is up to ten years in prison – if the victim is led to death by this act.
