Woman's consent for sex doesn't extend to filming private moments, posting on social media: Delhi HC

India TV News  

Consent to have sex doesn't allow capturing private moments and posting them on social media, Delhi High Court observed while dismissing the bail application by a rape accused who allegedly sexually exploited a married woman and leaked private images. 'Consent to engage in physical relations does not extend to misuse' "Even if the consent for sexual relations had been given at any point in time by the complainant, such consent cannot, in any manner, be construed as consent to capture and post her inappropriate videos on social media platforms. Refusing to grant any reprieve, the court said even if the initial sexual relationship between the parties was consensual, the alleged subsequent acts of the accused were "clearly rooted in coercion and blackmail". The accused's actions in preparing the videos and using them to manipulate and sexually exploit the complainant prima-facie reflects a strategy of abuse and exploitation, transcending any initial consensual interaction," it said.
