Under section 4 of that Act, it is also an offence to pursue a course of conduct that repeatedly puts someone in fear of violence.</p><p> </p><p>Changes to the law being taken forward in the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill will increase the maximum penalty for offences under the Malicious Communications Act 1988 to 2 years imprisonment, and extend the time within which prosecutions under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 may be brought, to up to three years, as opposed to the current six month limit.</p><p> </p><p>A new criminal offence of disclosing private sexual photographs and films without the consent of the individual appearing in the photograph or film and with intent to cause them distress is also being created in the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill. This is intended to deal with the behaviour commonly known as ‘revenge porn’.
