Consent for sex doesn't extend to filming, sharing private moments: Delhi HC

New Delhi, The Delhi High Court has significantly held the consent to have sex doesn't allow capturing private moments and posting it on social media.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma while dismissing the bail application by a rape accused said consent did not extend to permitting misuse and exploitation of private images.

"Even if the consent for sexual relations had been given at any point in time by the complainant, such consent cannot, in any manner, be construed as consent to capture and post her inappropriate videos on social media platforms.
