Certain sites have published images of the women’s Wisconsin volleyball team leak photos, violating their bodies’ confidentiality and infringing on women’s rights. These are the images that were recently distributed and shared across several websites.
These photos were removed from the sites where they were hosted or were they? Who might be responsible for the leakage of private photos of the women’s quads?
The university‘s volleyball program in Madison won the Big Ten championship in November 2021, and pictures and video footage of the celebration were released.
Even though the authorities acknowledge that these pictures and videos are accessible to the public, UW Athletics has admitted that they are aware that they are being shared publicly. However, uncensored pictures of the teammates were removed from several social media sites, including Twitter and Reddit.
The pictures were disclosed on social media without the team’s authorization, triggering the leak.
On Wednesday, October 19, 2022, Wisconsin’s athletic administrators announced that the volleyball ladies’ team, which was photographed in a locker room without the team’s authorization, immediately contacted the police when they identified the pictures had been publicly posted.
UW Athletics released the video clips and photographs through the Wisconsin Badgers’ Twitter account without mentioning the location or time.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported that the volleyball squad was photographed from their locker room.
According to the Milwaukee Daily Journal, after the squad won the Big Ten title in the previous year’s final, private images and videos were posted on social media accounts, including Reddit. However, those leaked videos and images (the link is given at the end) were removed from Reddit, Twitter, and other websites, as well as the remainder of the photographs from different sites.
Despite the institution suppressing information about the source of Reddit Photos, the Journal claimed that they had successfully obtained one of the private photographs.
In the photos, allegedly taken after the title ceremony took place in November 2021, the members of the squad can be seen posing with their sporting jerseys.
According to the sources, most of the content that was posted on the platforms without the consent of the squad was removed later.
What Authorities Are Doing After This Event
Officials have launched an inquiry into the event and are looking into several violations regarding the unauthorized release of sensitive photos. According to law enforcement personnel, the unauthorized revelation of the Picture constituted a significant and criminal violation of the athlete participants’ right to privacy.
In addition to violating university rules, it may have violated the law as well. It was the top priority of Wisconsin University’s athletic personnel to provide its student-athletes with the support and services they needed.
Distributing visual explicit, undressed, half-dressed, or revenge-themed images without permission is illegal throughout the state.
Lastly, the leaked images and videos of Wisconsin’s women’s sports team (Volleyball) were taken on a mobile device, and officials are looking into how the images wound up on the internet.
