A MOONPIG greetings card featuring explicit images was used in a revenge porn attack.

A customer created it by uploading three pictures of a female love rival engaged in a sex act — and sent it to her friends.

The victim found out and reported it to the company and to the police, who later issued a caution to the sender.

But the target told Flying Eze: “It’s so scary because I don’t know if there are any other cards out there.

“This was a personal video with someone I trusted.

“I’m completely distraught.

“My privacy has been invaded and I’ve never felt so little and low.”;

On its website, Moonpig states that it does not permit personalised products to include material which is “pornographic, obscene, indecent or promotes sexually explicit material”;.

But the victim, who was targeted in November, accused the greetings card company of enabling revenge porn through its personalised card service.

She said: “They say they have the technology to prevent this but the card was A4 size and clearly showed my face.

“I want them to know this is not acceptable.

“It’s private and it’s all out there.

“It doesn’t matter if this happens once or a hundred times, this should not be happening at all, full stop.

“Three images were uploaded separately so how on earth did they get through the net?”;

Moonpig insisted it had processes to filter out explicit content but admitted it occasionally slipped through.

A spokeswoman said: “We send thousands of cards across the country daily.

“We have fully co-operated with the police in their criminal investigation and, in line with our terms and conditions, have taken swift action by blocking the sender’s account.”;

Revenge porn — or intimate image abuse — has been an offence since 2015 and can lead to up to two years in jail.

What are the laws around revenge porn?

NEW revenge porn rules came into effect this year on January 31.

These were introduced to make it easier for authorities to prosecute cases of revenge porn.

With the changes, prosecutors would not have to prove intent to cause distress when someone shares intimate images, according to Revenge Porn Helpline.

Sharing intimate images with the intention to cause distress, embarrassment, and humiliation is now considered a serious offence.

The offence is treated more seriously if the image was shared for sexual gratification.

Revenge porn is when sexually explicit images or videos of individuals are shared without their consent.

It has been an offence since 2015 and can carry a jail term of up to two years.
