Vile perverts steal innocent women's Instagram pictures and post them on sick porn site

Irish Mirror

Stunned: Brid Long who was one of the women who had her online pictures stolen

Hundreds of women from just one city have had their social media pictures nicked and posted on a vile porn site, it has been revealed.
The victims, who are mostly from Cork in Ireland, have been left horrified after discovering their images were uploaded by sick perverts.
And it is feared the perpetrators are local.
Some of these “ordinary pictures of ordinary girls” have been on the site for years but the victims only discovered it this week.
While many have had their heads photoshopped on to the bodies of other naked women, others have had their “normal” everyday photos uploaded untouched.
And depraved comments added to the site such as “I wouldn’t mind raping her” have sparked serious alarm, reports the Irish Mirror.
Disturbingly, many of the victims have discovered the pictures used of them are when they were as young as 14.

Hack: Some victims discovered pictures are from when they were as young as 14

Brid Long, 19, who is from near Blarney, discovered “ordinary” images from her Instagram account had been nicked and posted on the site after a friend tipped her off.
Although the photos of her aren’t from when she was underage, she found images of other pals from when they were as young as 14.
Sickened Brid said: “It’s strange because they are just pictures of me at the gym and they haven’t been tampered with or photoshopped.
“But what is most disturbing is this person has listed my hometown as Cork at the top of the page.
"I found images of other girls I know from when they were around 15 so I’ve alerted all them too and we’re going to the guards.

Another Cork woman who trawled the site before it was deleted earlier this week said she found the face of an 11-year-old photoshopped on to a naked body in one of the vile images.
Another victim, who did not want to be named, described her horror at discovering pictures from when she was as young as 15 had been posted on the sick site.
The woman, who is now 21 and has given a statement to gardai, revealed to Cork’s 96FM Opinion Line: “On Tuesday night a friend of mine rang me to let me know a profile had uploaded pictures of me on different forums on an international porn site.
“There are hundreds of girls from Cork on this site.
“Firstly, this site says it is strictly 18+, yet I am as young as 15 in the pictures uploaded. I am now 21. Is this not child pornography?
“And before people say, ‘This is your own fault for uploading pictures to social media’, no this is not my fault.
“Yes these pictures were uploaded to social media, but to my private account and to my private friend group. Their purpose was not to be advertised as a 15-year-old girl on an adult porn site.

“My account is not public and I don’t befriend people I don’t know.
“I know once something is on the internet it can be there for ever.
“The issue I have is that these pictures were posted explicitly on an 18+ X-rated porn site for purposes unimaginable.”
The woman told of her fears that her reputation could be damaged by these posts.
She said: “I recently graduated college and any future employer would have the ability to see these.
“Posts like these can absolutely tarnish anybody’s reputation and their mental health.

Sick: One woman told of her fears that her reputation could be damaged

“I was able to click on to the user’s account and see everything they had posted on the site right up until this week. They wrote about having sexual desires with their own sister.
“The user was even asking people if they knew how to hack into girls iCloud back-up accounts on their phones so that they could steal their pictures and search for any nudes.”
Another victim, known only as Niamh, told 96FM she fears she knows the sick pervert stealing the pictures.
She revealed: “I got a text on the way to my course telling me I was on a porn site. I was number two on the list and there was 39 pictures of me up there since 2012 and all nasty comments.
“I was 19 in 2012 but the fact they’ve been up there since then and people could have been walking past me thinking ‘There’s the one on that site’ or if anyone did a background check on you if you were going for a job.
“I went to the gardai and they reckon it was someone out of the country but I reckon it was someone from Cork because they know a lot about us and they had access to our pictures.
“I have a gut feeling I do know this person and it’s really worrying me. I’m just disgusted to be honest.
“I could know him, I could be friendly with him, I could be eating with him or out with him and that’s deeply worrying.
“I don’t want to spend the rest of my life wondering who put up these pictures. And the comments they’ve written and the things they said they’re going to do, you’d be afraid they would carry them out.
“The site is gone but 4,000 people looked at my pictures and that’s the worrying thing.”
Anyone affected has been urged to contact Anglesea Street gardai on 0214522000.
