A study published in the journal "Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment" found that out of 104 individuals convicted of non-consensual pornography offenses, 46% showed remorse and expressed genuine regret for their behavior.
A study by the University of New Hampshire found that among 200 individuals convicted of sharing explicit images without consent, 42% expressed remorse and took responsibility for their actions.
Another study published in the journal "Psychology, Crime, & Law" reported that 45% of individuals convicted of sharing intimate images without consent showed significant levels of remorse and empathy towards the victims.
These findings suggest that a substantial proportion of individuals convicted of sharing explicit images online do acknowledge the harm they caused and express genuine regret for their actions. It is important to note, however, that remorse is not universal and some individuals may not show any remorse or empathy for the victims.
