Jamaica Tightens Cybercrime Laws Against Revenge Porn
Parliament in Jamaica began debating amendments to the Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act 2026 yesterday in Gordon House, proposing tougher penalties for publishing 'intimate images' without consent, including up to 20 years' imprisonment for images of persons under 18. Minister Dr Andrew Wheatley said the bill updates definitions, strengthens law enforcement powers, and targets cyber-fraud enablers; debate was suspended and will resume next week.
