The US Navy has issued new rules forbidding personnel from sharing intimate photographs without consent.
They ban the sharing of images when “the person depicted had a reasonable expectation of privacy” or “without legal justification or excuse”.
It follows the discovery that some marines were sharing photos of women in a private Facebook group.
Service personnel found to be violating the regulations will be dealt with by military courts.
The interim order, is expected to be made permanent in the next edition of the US Navy regulations.
