NEXT STOP GREXIT?As the impact of the Greek debt crisis is felt across Europe and beyond, Dateline asks how a country can run out of cash and what it means for its people. While Europe's politicians talk it out, Aaron Lewis is on the streets of Athens to see what it all means for those just trying to get on with daily life. In the long queues for the often-closed banks, a man is trying to retrieve his last 50 Euros. And a grandmother waiting for her medication says it's the worst she's been through... and she lived through the Second World War. Aaron finds there's a sense of community too, as everyone pulls together in spite of the challenges.But that's now and no one knows what will happen next. People wearily ask him what will be left for future generations. The answer is in the hand of the politicians, but can they finally find the solution to a crisis that's been escalating for years?REVENGE PORN JUSTICE?When Chrissy Chambers ended a relationship, she says her ex posted videos online of them having sex as revenge, but her fight for justice highlights the difficulty pursuing such a modern form of crime."It was like my heart stopped... it's like being stabbed in the heart," Chrissy says on Tuesday's Dateline, when describing the moment she realised intimate videos of her were being distributed on more than 35 websites. They had been filmed without her knowledge years earlier. Since then she's gone on to become a YouTube celebrity, with over half a million subscribers to the channels she runs with her girlfriend Bria."The damages we've suffered are staggering," she says. "The thousands of dollars in my healthcare bills and thousands of dollars in losses that we've had from our YouTube channel.""I want him to have to be responsible... I want to make him pay."But bringing the case to justice has proved difficult for Los-Angeles based Chrissy. Some states of the US now have revenge porn legislation, but because Chrissy believes her ex-boyfriend posted the videos in his native UK, she must travel to London to pursue the case."We know that society should not tolerate this, it's not acceptable behaviour what these people are doing," lawyer Ann Olivarius says. "But still, they get away with it all the time."A specific revenge porn law was introduced in the UK in April, but it's too late for Chrissy as her videos were posted before that. Instead her lawyers must use a patchwork of existing legislation, including the Malicious Communications Act, to build her case. Ultimately, Chrissy intends to make legal history as the first person to not only pursue a criminal prosecution of her former partner, but also to seek a civil action for damages."Money is the currency of how we achieve justice, that's the measurement," Ann Olivarius says. "We want him to assign the copyright to her... we want him to make an agreement that he's not going to do this again.""I know I'm doing something that is so important," Chrissy tells a seminar for lawyers about revenge porn cases like hers. "Hopefully more people will continue to do that as well, share their stories."Chrissy's case highlights the difficulties in pursuing cross-border cases, when legislation varies so significantly between different countries.Last month, there were reports of hundreds of South Australian women having intimate photos of them shared on the internet, prompting calls for tougher laws in Australia."It's ruining people's lives," Chrissy says after giving her statement to police. "I'm going to fight and continue to fight to of course not let it ruin mine."Now she's waiting to hear if criminal charges can be brought.Numerous attempts were made to contact Chrissy's ex-boyfriend for this story, but without response |
