EmilyAtack emotionally recalls calling police after horrifying rape threats
Inbetweeners actress Emily Atack has spoken out about how she was forced to call police after receiving horrifying rape threats that saw her feeling “my safety was in jeopardy”.
The actress is campaigning to social media companies to clampdown on the use of x rated comments and images after she herself has been targeted and she is also fighting against cyberflashing – which is the term for the sending of explicit pictures and videos to someone either online or via a mobile device – after being forced to move home multiple times following abuse she’s received.
Speaking to The Sun about her recent horrifying experience, she said: "They knew where I lived, said what they were going to do to me, even my family. I got the police involved." “I’ve developed quite a thick skin. But when I started getting actual rape threats, and felt my safety was in jeopardy, it became too much.“I have this one particular guy who constantly abuses me and every time I block him, he creates a new account," she went on.
