IBSA incidents in India and impact on victims: Random sample

This document was created by Rohini Lakshané in June 2024 as a part of a forthcoming series of articles on image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) to be published on FactorDaily.com.

It includes a random sample that is meant to be indicative, not exhaustive. The sample was created from top search results on Google News with the country setting restricted to India. 

Search strings: revenge porn, morphed nudes, leaked nudes, leaked nude videos, leaked videos OYO hotel

The contents of Column E (Actions of  perpetrators in  addition to non- consensual  shooting and/ or  distribution), Column F (Impact on victims) and Column G (Additional notes/ observations) are noted solely on the basis of the contents of the news reports. 

In addition, this spreadsheet contains 7 incidents/ cases that were high-profile, that is, they received much public and media attention, and 4 reports that the researcher considers noteworthy.

This dataset avoids the use of the word "blackmail" because of its racist connotations. The words "extortion" and "intimidation" are used instead. 

Data is provided AS-IS, without warranty as to accuracy or completeness.
