As you claimed, not "pointed out."
The photo is very very clearly covered by the revenge porn law. The cps don't always choose to pursue every case, so who knows what will happen, but it's just not an edge case.
But like I said, the thread's going on ignore, so enjoy yourselves.

So the image that Fox shared is private, then?

You clearly don't understand the intention of the revenge porn Act, which was to stop ex-lovers sharing 'bedroom' photos/videos, as much as I would like to see Fox done for sharing that image, it seems unlikely to fit under that particular Act, nor the up-skirting Act.

It's not public. Well - it wasn't til Fox posted it.

Wasn't Fox an ex-colleague of the victim? I thought that work-place revenge porn was included?

the victim doesn’t need to be known by the perpetrator. A stranger can, and should, be prosecuted for posting intimate photos without consent.

Exasperated, not angry.
No it wasn’t, that’s completely wrong. The revenge bit of the law is just stating that having allowed someone to take or have possession of a ‘private’ photo does not mean the actual law (no sharing of any private photo with the intention of causing distress or harassment) is disapplied.
The only debate is whether it is ‘private’ - which probably depends where fox got it from.

The photo was not readily available. He made it readily available.
It was posted by Fox with malice to sexually humiliate the woman, aggravated by the fact that it wasn't in the public domain at the time of his posting.
It was not taken in a public place - it's from inside a vehicle.
There's also the possibility as others have pointed out, that it was edited (not by Fox) in the first place. If so, would that put Fox on dodgier ground legally? I think so, but not sure.

He could probably also get done for harassment if the revenge porn angle won’t stick

I think there needs to be two incidents to constitute criminal harassment.

It’s an upskirting picture, that practice was made illegal, taking a picture up a skirt whether underwear is worn or not, without consent is now a crime.
The pap who took this and the photo agencies they sold it to took it down once that law came to pass, as they would fall foul of it.
Also revenge porn laws were enacted; if you publish an intimate picture taken with or without consent and you publish it with the intent to cause alarm or distress you are guilty.
Fox seems to have managed to combine the two. Public school education, I guess.

Let’s just put the gobby and viciously ignorant former actor in the stocks permanently instead of arguing over the details of laws none of us have a full enough knowledge of to confidently state anything unequivocally.

If that was right we wouldn't have any nudist beaches in the country as they would be full of perverts with cameras.

The fact that Fox has decided or heeded advice to, belatedly, take the post down suggests that he is, himself, not as certain of its legal status as he was arguing yesterday.
I’m sure that we can all agree that we’d like to see him take the maximum rap for this.

Well he’d better not come to Yorkshire. He is technically a Yorkshireman, but he can fuck off

There’s not much nuance needed: it was an up-skirting pic, the taking of which was subsequently made illegal. Fox shared with with the clear intent of causing distress, which breaches the revenge porn laws.
He’s in the trouble he wants to be in.

I wonder what his ex-wife and kids think of his plans to move away. What a good dad he is, eh?

Ah ok. That's Public Order rather than criminal Harassment I think but yeah. Maybe the OB will go after him under Public Order. Whatever works tbh.No, just the one offence will do the job:

I think that might settle the legality question. He's probably thinking of somewhere slightly further than Crawley.He's threatening to leave London over this. I imagine we're all gutted.
