Remove intimate images shared without your consent in Hong Kong

Before anything else

• Never send us the images: links are enough. A list of URLs and the date you found each one is all we need.
• If a minor is involved, call 999 or go to a police station first. We help with the online side afterwards.
• Keep a record of every page: the address, a screenshot with the date and time, and the account name that posted it.
• Do not message the person who posted it and do not pay anyone who offers to “delete” it for money.
• Talk to someone you trust. RainLily’s hotline (2375 5322) supports people of any gender after image-based abuse.

What the Hong Kong figures show

Police recorded 116 cases of publishing or threatening to publish intimate images without consent in 2025, and between 94 and 146 a year from 2021 to 2025. Convictions stayed between 2 and 14 a year (Government reply to LegCo question 18, 17 June 2026). A prosecution can take months; the files often stay online throughout.

Where do the files end up? Of the items handled by RainLily’s takedown service in 2021–23, 42% were on pornographic sites, about a quarter on social media and 22.7% in search engines (RainLily report, 8 August 2023). Removing a post at the source is only half of the work if Google still shows a thumbnail or a cached title with your name.

Free routes in Hong Kong, and their limits

Several free routes exist and they work. We name them first, because some people will not need us at all.

Which page matches your situation?

Intimate-image cases in Hong Kong usually take one of three shapes. Each page below explains the routes, the evidence and what we file.

What NetClearer adds to the free routes

• We file the requests ourselves, in the format each site expects: tube-site abuse forms, Telegram abuse reports with the public t.me links, forum moderators, Meta and X privacy forms.
• Google de-indexing of every URL that still appears under your name or in image results.
• Mirror hunting: Hong Kong leaks often move to jable.tv, missav, hanime1 or stripchat copies within days. We search for them and re-file.
• One written record of each link, the date filed and the platform’s answer, useful if you later go to the police.
• Monitoring for re-uploads on the 20-link pack and on monthly plans.

How a case runs

1. You send the links through the contact form, by email or on Messenger. No images, no explanations you are not ready to give.
2. We reply with a free written assessment: which links we can act on, under which rule, and a fixed quotation.
3. We file at the source within 48 hours of payment, starting with the sites that spread files fastest.
4. We file the Google requests once each source page is gone or while it is still being reviewed.
5. We follow up each request until there is an answer and report back to you in writing.

Hong Kong law in plain words

Since 8 October 2021, section 159AAE of the Crimes Ordinance makes it an offence to publish, or threaten to publish, an intimate image of someone without consent, with up to 5 years’ imprisonment. Altered images, such as AI-made nudes, count as intimate images. The same Part covers voyeurism and upskirt recording.

The Ordinance also allows a court to order a file removed, but only on the prosecution’s application, during criminal proceedings. Victims cannot apply themselves, and no such order had been sought by August 2025 (HK01, 23 August 2025). In practice, removal still runs through platform rules and Google’s own policies.

NetClearer is not a law firm and gives no legal advice. Police reports are made by you; we can prepare a clear evidence pack for them. For a civil claim, consult a Hong Kong solicitor.

Discretion at every step

• We never contact the poster, your employer, your family or your estate management.
• Reports are filed in the name of NetClearer as your representative wherever the platform allows it.
• We ask for links and screenshots only, and your file is deleted once the case is closed.
• We do not handle political, national-security or public-interest content, whatever the request.
