Revenge Porn Helplines & Resources: Complete Directory (2026)

If you're dealing with non-consensual intimate images—whether it's an ex distributing your photos, a stranger sharing content from a hack, or AI-generated deepfakes—you don't have to face it alone. This directory covers every major helpline, crisis resource, and support organization available in 2026, along with what each one actually does and when to use it.

National Crisis Resources

Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI)

The CCRI is the leading nonprofit dedicated specifically to combating non-consensual pornography. They operate the only crisis helpline in the US exclusively focused on image-based sexual abuse.

• Crisis Helpline: 844-878-CCRI (844-878-2274)
• Hours: Monday–Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM EST
• What they offer: Emotional support, referrals to pro bono attorneys, guidance on content removal, help navigating platform reporting processes, and connections to local law enforcement
• Website: cybercivilrights.org

CCRI is ideal if you need someone to talk to who understands the specific trauma of image-based abuse. Their advocates are trained specifically in this area and can guide you through next steps.

RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network)

RAINN operates the nation's largest anti-sexual violence hotline and provides support for all forms of sexual abuse, including image-based exploitation.

• National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (1-800-656-4673)
• Online Chat: Available 24/7 at rainn.org/get-help
• What they offer: Crisis counseling, referrals to local sexual assault service providers, help connecting with law enforcement, and information about your legal options
• Best for: Situations involving sexual assault, intimate partner violence, or when the image-based abuse is part of a broader pattern of abuse

Technology-Based Protection Tools

StopNCII.org

StopNCII.org (Stop Non-Consensual Intimate Images) is a free tool developed by the UK Revenge Porn Helpline in partnership with Meta. It uses hash technology to prevent intimate images from being shared across participating platforms.

• How it works: You select intimate images on your device. StopNCII creates a digital fingerprint (hash) without ever uploading the actual image. This hash is shared with participating platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Bumble, Reddit, and others) who automatically detect and block matching uploads.
• Who it's for: Anyone aged 18+ who has intimate images they fear may be shared without consent
• Cost: Completely free
• Limitation: Only works on participating platforms; does not cover independent websites, forums, or file hosting services

NCMEC Take It Down

Take It Down is operated by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and provides a similar hash-based service specifically for minors and young adults whose images were created when they were under 18.

• Website: takeitdown.ncmec.org
• Who it's for: Anyone whose intimate images were taken when they were under 18, regardless of their current age
• How it works: Similar to StopNCII—creates a hash of the image without uploading it, which is shared with participating platforms for automatic detection and removal
• Additional support: NCMEC can also assist with reporting to law enforcement and connecting victims with support services

Law Enforcement Resources

FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)

The FBI's IC3 accepts complaints related to internet-facilitated crimes, including sextortion, cyberstalking, and distribution of NCII. While the FBI doesn't investigate every individual complaint, filing a report creates a federal record and may contribute to larger investigations.

• File a complaint: ic3.gov
• When to use: If you're being extorted, if the perpetrator is in a different state or country, if the abuse involves a minor, or if local law enforcement is unresponsive
• What to include: All evidence you've gathered—screenshots, URLs, communication records, any identifying information about the perpetrator

Local Law Enforcement

As of 2026, 48 states plus DC have specific laws criminalizing non-consensual pornography. File a police report with your local department, especially if you know the perpetrator's identity. Bring printed evidence and reference your state's specific revenge porn statute.

State Attorney General

Your state attorney general's office can be a powerful ally, particularly if platforms are not complying with removal requests or if the perpetrator is operating a website dedicated to distributing NCII. Many state AG offices have dedicated cybercrime or internet safety divisions.

Additional Support Organizations

• Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 for free 24/7 crisis support via text message
• National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233—if the image sharing is part of domestic abuse
• Without My Consent: Provides legal resources and guides for victims of NCII
• Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF): Offers guidance on digital privacy rights and can connect you with legal resources

Which Resource Should You Contact First?

The right starting point depends on your situation:

• Intimate images shared by an ex or someone you know: Start with CCRI's helpline (844-878-2274) for guidance, then file reports on the platforms where content appears
• Being extorted or blackmailed: Contact the FBI IC3 immediately, then CCRI for support. Do not pay the extortionist.
• Images of you as a minor: Contact NCMEC Take It Down and file a report with the FBI IC3. This is a federal crime regardless of the perpetrator's location.
• Content appearing on social media platforms: Use StopNCII.org to create hashes for proactive protection, then report directly to each platform
• Widespread distribution across multiple sites: Consider professional removal assistance to coordinate takedowns efficiently

You Have Options—Use Them

The landscape for victims has improved dramatically. Between federal legislation (the TAKE IT DOWN Act), hash-based blocking tools (StopNCII.org, Take It Down), and dedicated helplines (CCRI, RAINN), there are more resources available today than ever before. You don't have to navigate this alone, and you don't have to accept that leaked content will stay online forever.
