pretty sure you can get him fired but going to police would be little too much (imo)
Naw people who are that dumb and cruel wont learn a thing unless its shoved in his face that what he did was fucked up.
The police won't just issue a slap on the wrist though, he will be entered onto a database. This could potentially ruin their entire life.
If by database you mean in the criminal system, yeah i guess he would be. Thats the usual consequences of breaking the law. It wouldnt ruin his life though.
I think intent needs to be factored in. If the colleague's intent was purely to terrorise then that should be punishable. If their intent was humour, albeit at the expense of OP, I think some leniency should be involved, at least until they understand the gravity of their offence.
We are all ignorant of the sensitivies of others in at least one degree, is my defense here.
Guarantee you wouldn't be saying this if he was sharing CSAM.
Yes that's illegal
Pretty sure forcing gore videos onto another person is also illegal.
its not like he put a gun to his head and forced him to watch it, also what do you even tell to the police? "officer this guy sent me a gore video and then made fun of me - arrest him!"
Can you cite the law?
