Private images from when I was a minor are being reposted online. What can I do?
I need legal advice about private images of me from when I was a minor (16).
Images that were originally posted online years ago are now being reposted on adult websites and forums without my consent. Some pages describe me as being 18, but I was actually under 18 at the time the images were created or shared.
I have proof of my age, and I have saved the relevant URLs, screenshots, dates, page titles and usernames. I do not want to post any links or screenshots here because I do not want to spread the material further or encourage anyone to look for it.
I have started sending takedown requests, but I am worried because the content keeps being copied or reposted elsewhere. What is the safest legal way to handle this?
Should I report this to the police, a child protection organisation, the websites, the hosting providers, or all of them?
What evidence should I keep, and how can I preserve it without accidentally sharing or redistributing illegal material?
