What to do and where to get support
If you have experienced cyber flashing or any other form of indecent exposure – whether it was recently or a long time ago, support is available to whether you decide to report it or not.
You can now report cyber flashing incidents to the police by calling 101.
If the incident happened on public transport the British Transport Police have been seen to take this kind of harassment seriously. You can also report to them via 101.
If this incident happened at school, university or work, seek support from a teacher, member of staff or manager. It is important to remember that this is a form of cyber harassment and can be violating, humiliating and distressing.
