The US Navy has issued new rules forbidding personnel from sharing intimate photographs without consent.<\/p>\n
They ban the sharing of images when “the person depicted had a reasonable expectation of privacy” or “without legal justification or excuse”.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
It follows the discovery that some marines were sharing photos of women in a private Facebook group.<\/p>\n
Service personnel found to be violating the regulations will be dealt with by military courts.<\/p>\n
The interim order, which was signed on Tuesday, is expected to be made permanent in the next edition of the US Navy regulations.<\/p>\n
Taken without consent<\/h4>\n
The photos began to appear on the members-only Marines United group in January, when the first US Marine infantry unit began admitting women.<\/p>\n
They were often accompanied by obscene comments and some of the women in the pictures were identified by name, rank and unit.<\/p>\n
Membership of the group, now closed, was limited to active and retired male US Marines and Navy Corpsmen, and British Royal Marines.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the Royal Navy said that as the images were posted by US Marines, it was “a matter for the US authorities”.<\/p>\n
Some of the images appeared to have been taken covertly, while others are believed to have been taken with the women’s consent but posted without permission.<\/p>\n
Facebook and Google closed the social media accounts of those posting the images, following a request from the US Marine Corps.<\/p>\n
A Google Drive folder hosting the images was also deleted.<\/p>\n
