The offence at Section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act 2015 criminalises the disclosure of private sexual photographs or films without the consent of an individual who appears in them and with the intent to cause that individual distress.<\/p>
<\/p>
Such behaviour is a terrible abuse of trust which can leave victims feeling humiliated and degraded.<\/p>
<\/p>
I am glad to see people are being prosecuted under this new offence which carries a maximum sentence of two years behind bars.<\/p>
<\/p>
At the time the offence was brought in it was deliberately designed to strengthen existing law by targeting the malicious non-consensual sharing of private sexual images, a motive more akin to the offence of blackmail. This decision was taken after consultation with victims who strongly supported the focus on the malicious nature of this behaviour.<\/p>

Additionally, a decision on the appeal may be reached after a hearing has been adjourned (which may be directed by the judge for a variety of reasons, such as to seek further evidence), or after a hearing has been postponed (again, for a variety of reasons, often at the request of the appellant). An appeal may also have been referred back to the First-tier Tribunal by the Upper Tribunal for disposal. Cases may also have been stayed at the First-tier Tribunal, pending a decision by the Upper Tribunal on a lead case.<\/p> Latest figures indicate that since PIP was introduced, more than 3.1 million decisions have been made, and of these under 9% have been appealed and 4% have been overturned. For ESA the figure is only 8% of decisions made were appealed and 4% have been overturned at tribunals.<\/p> <\/p> The information requested is set out in the table below:<\/p> Average time in weeks from receipt at HM Courts & Tribunal Service to outcome<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Newcastle<\/strong> Manor View House (Social Security & Child Support Tribunal hearing venue)<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Financial years April - March<\/p><\/td> Personal Independence Payment 1<\/sup><\/p><\/td> Employment and Support Allowance2<\/sup><\/p><\/td> Universal Credit3<\/sup><\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2015-16<\/p><\/td> 15<\/p><\/td> 17<\/p><\/td> ~<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2016-17<\/p><\/td> 15<\/p><\/td> 15<\/p><\/td> 12<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2017-18<\/p><\/td> 21<\/p><\/td> 19<\/p><\/td> 13<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> Notes:<\/p> 1<\/sup> Personal Independence Payment (PIP) (New Claim Appeals) which replaces Disability Living Allowance (DLA) was introduced on 8 April 2013, and also includes Personal Independence Claims (Reassessments)<\/p> 2 <\/sup>Includes Employment Support Allowance (ESA) and Employment Support Allowance (Reassessments)<\/p> 3 <\/sup>Universal Credit was introduced on 29 April 2013 in selected areas of Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and has been gradually rolled out to the rest of the UK from October 2013.<\/p> ~ Equates to a value of five or fewer<\/p> Although care is taken when processing and analysing the data, the details are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale case management system and are the best data available.<\/p> The data may differ slightly to that of the published stats as these data were run on a different date.<\/p>"}
