Yes it was violent

How is
this violent?

Sharing intimate images of one's partner without her consent is a criminal offence in itself. Not only that, but the abuser is ignoring his girlfriend's wishes and using different forms of psychological violence and manipulation (belittling, guilt-tripping, invalidating, insults, etc.) to get what he wants.

In your opinion

In your opinion, is the victim right when she says "it's prostitution"?

Yes

Selling photos of a nude person for the sexual satisfaction" of others is a form of prostitution. Pressuring someone to do so is a form of pimping and sexual exploitation."

Link between domestic violence and prostitution

40%
—80%

The link between intimate partner violence and prostitution has yet to be extensively researched but European and North American studies have already shown that up to 80% of pimping activities begin in the context of an intimate relationship (often simulated by abusers, but real for the victims).
