If there are persons whose photographs and videos had been uploaded to pornographic websites without their consent, they can seek the assistance of police, the Children and Women’s Bureau told Court.

The Bureau told Court that police would conduct investigations to trace the persons who are operating the pornographic websites.

“Following the publicizing of 83 mug shots of local men and women appearing in pornographic websites, five persons including three women and two men have given statements to the police. Nine personnel have anonymously given their details,” the Children and Women’s Bureau officer said. (LS)

This new report shows indubitably that care in such matters as these must be scrupulously taken. In other words, knee-jerk actions produce re-active backtracking.

There;s no point now. Their dignity have been rigged by the Police. And I can't imagine the discomfort they've been thru @ the police station

The worst example depict to the world of their lack of investigation ability by Sri lankan police.

Police should not havepublished the photos in the local newspaper, which is worse than the photos in the web.

sltk2004 Thursday, 25 November 2010 12:58 PM

No action against the people who initiated the move to publish them in papers ?

Kumar Thursday, 25 November 2010 12:26 PM

kumar Thursday, 25 November 2010 12:08 PM

Very funny! To check this out, all must go to the porno site!! How carzy can this be??!! Who is being fooled by whom?

its a good move. While morality is a social issue, it must also be noted, if two grown up adults who know good and bad, choose to engage in carnal pleasure in privacy, its their own business and own right. Nobody has the right to violate their privacy. Thats why they usually pay for privacy by renting rooms. If the landlord or any of his employees video the couple engaging in sex and upload it in websites, the price should be paid by the perpetrator and not the victims. The same goes for estranged partners who "leak" photos/videos of their partner without their consent.

Good action by the Bureau for victimised people. Action must be taken against the people who upload such videos in websites.

You are too late. Now the damage has done to those.
