I am pleased that we were able to support Georgia, and I hope her strength in pursuing this highlights to other victims that there is help and support available for them and that the courts take these matters very seriously. Once I officially receive the settlement sum, I will be donating part of it to multiple charities that have helped support me and other victims of image-based sexual abuse.”īasha added: “This has been a difficult, complicated and emotional case. They have been true heroes on my journey to justice, and I will forever be in awe of how talented they are. It’s no secret that Payne Hicks Beach are one of the most sought after and respected legal teams in the U.K., so it was a real honor to have them support me, especially as I didn’t have the finances necessary to afford a legal team at the time. Harrison said in a statement: “I couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who has helped support my civil claim, which after almost three years has finally been settled. Hanna Basha and Nick Grant of legal firm Payne Hicks Beach’s privacy and media team represented Harrison. It was consensual sex but it certainly wasn’t consensual filming and it was deeply violating.” Pornography is generally actually something done consensually. A more appropriate term is image based abuse. “This is a gross act of violation by a man towards a woman through the medium of the internet. “This is a case where the term ‘revenge porn’ is sometimes used, it’s a colorful term for the media,” Judge Victoria McCloud said. This is one of the highest amounts to be awarded in an image abuse case and one of the highest awards of all time in a privacy claim arising out of a single act. The damages, including special damages, and an injunction, were awarded in a ruling at the High Court in London on Wednesday.
