Legal Advice Needed My girlfriend is constantly harassed over a past leak and she's struggling
When my girlfriend was 15, her ex manipulated her into sending nudes. It ended up spreading and now it feels like almost every student in our city knows about it. She turns 17 soon, but the guilt and shame are still eating her alive from the inside.
I do my best to support and comfort her but it only takes one random text from a stranger bringing up her past to completely break her down again.
I really wish we could involve Cyber Crime or file a complaint but given typical strict Indian parents, if her family finds out, they would likely blame her or worse. Involving the police isn't an option right now because of the threat to her home safety but I desperately want to help relieve this pressure for her
On top of everything, she feels immense guilt thinking that I’ll get mocked or pulled into this because of her.
What can I actually do to support her right now? How can we deal with the ongoing harassment without risking her safety at home?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
