Description: Carrie Goldberg is a lawyer taking down revenge porn case by case. Her life changed when an ex-boyfriend threatened to post naked pictures and videos of her online. She was already practicing as a lawyer, but quit her job to start her own firm and give her clients - as she puts it - “the lawyer I needed when I was going through hell.” When she began in 2014, there were few laws against what is now known as “revenge porn” – the non-consensual sharing of explicit photos online. Now many countries and US states have passed anti-revenge porn laws. Thumbnail photo: Carrie Goldberg in her New York office. (BBC Copyright)
