(CMR) The RCIPS is asking members of the public to desist from sharing a disturbing video depicting sexual abuse, which has been circulating on messaging service Whatsapp.
The RCIPS requests that anyone who has received the video content immediately stop sharing the content and delete it from their phones.
“The circulation of illicit video content is not only disturbing and potentially puts victims in greater danger, but it is also a criminal activity that comes with a potential 25 years imprisonment for transmission and 15 years for possession,” said Superintendent Peter Lansdown.
“If persons receive illicit video content via digital messaging services, do not share it further and inform the police immediately by calling 911”.
The RCIPS said it was investigating the video and expressed thanks to the member of the public who brought it to their attention.
