This is quite a strange one for me, the content that was shared was created by the new wife and uploaded to OnlyFans herself, it was there to be found already.

I'm quite surprised this is considered such a serious act.

Yeah, but I wouldn't have expected merely drawing their attention to it would be such a serious matter.

I wonder what would have happened if she had sent materiel that wasn't sexually explicit? Would merely telling people about the OnlyFans account have been enough?

Drawing attention to it does not require screenshots or so though a link to the profile would do.

Yeah, I wonder if sharing a link counts as distribution?

This is something i didn't read before, because it's only the caption of an image in the article:

The charges the ex-wife faced for sharing explicit images from the OnlyFans account of her ex-husband's new wife were made under the Harmful Digital Communications Act.

So, taking sexually explicit images from their account and sharing them counts, but would merely linking to the content be enough?

If I remember correctly it counts for defamation and name suppression laws, but in this case since the link would just be to OPs own content it probably wouldn't.

It might still be charged under the act though, as bullying, but I am not a lawyer.

Neither am I.

I'd love to have an actual legal professional weigh in on this.
