A 13-year-old girl is among the region’s victims of so-called “revenge pornography”.
Figures from Thames Valley Police show there have been 60 cases of former partners posting indecent images of their exes online.
The force recorded 15 crimes in 2012, 31 last year and 14 in the first four months of this year. Oxfordshire figures were last night not available.
Oxfordshire police and crime commissioner Anthony Stansfeld said: “This is a vicious form of personal blackmail and if reported to Thames Valley Police I would expect them to fully investigate it.”
