Deepfake sexual abuse involves creating manipulated images or videos falsely depicting individuals in sexual contexts, often without consent. Online impersonation targets victims by mimicking their identity to cause harm or exploitation. Both forms of abuse undermine victim privacy, cause emotional trauma, and pose new challenges for legal and protective measures.

Amanda, I have never added a comment to a petition before, so please do read this, I know you're saying that all of us who've signed haven't seen your show and don't understand that you're not disrespecting Meredith. However, PLEASE stop and consider why, as Brits, (and many of us are parents ourselves) who still vividly remember Meredith's horrific murder and court case circus, and can only imagine the lifelong grief that Meredith's brave and dignified family and friends endure every single day, we're all so devastated that you would even consider that performance of this nature is acceptable. I believe you've already had books published giving your side of the story, so please show some moral fibre and do the decent thing as an adult, and mother of a daughter yourself, and show the respect for Meredith you claim you have, by cancelling your show. Thank you.
My mother was murdered by may step father, but due to police incontinence, the incinerated her clothes removing the evidence. Even the coroner stated this in his summary. So to have anyone think they can make fun of a person that has been MURDERED begs belief. My heart ❤️ goes out to her family and friends.
Murderers and sex offenders should stay in prison and serve their full sentence, maybe they should release petty criminals like driving offences or shoplifters instead. This would also make room in our prisons for serious crimes like violent crimes and assaults with weapons. As I was raped and had my throat cut many years ago now by an ex partner and he was released after three and a half years of his five years sentence after my wish was for him to serve his full sentence, they asked me what I would prefer but still released him.
The justice system clearly is not strict enough on sex offences. I have experienced this kind of trauma enough times to know that there are plenty of men out there not scared whatsoever to commit this offence. The effects it has had on my mental health, and in turn my physical health and nervous system is enormous. It changes your whole life in so many different ways. If they've chosen to commit this horrid offence, then why should they be released early. In my opinion, they don't get long enough as it is. The trauma it induces is a life sentence itself.
I was raped as a 14 year old in the UK. It is utterly shameful that this is still happening to children 65 years later with no significant repercussions for the perpetrators. Do better UK!
This case demonstrates to me that the UK is unsafe for women travelers. I’ll stick to places that treat rape as the crime that it is, and where the public is protected from violent offenders
I work with young survivors of sexual violence and see the pain that a lack of justice and accountability for perpetrators has on an already traumatised child. This sends a message to boys and men that they can do whatever they want to girls and women without consequence. It also sends a message to girls and women that there is no point looking for justice as we don’t matter. Also saying one male had ADHD and didn’t know what he was doing is offensive to all neurodivergent people and is complete nonsense. Absolutely disgusting.
