Plymouth's police have dealt with nine reports of revenge porn in 2015 - where victims have alleged naked or sexual images of them have been circulated online by an ex.
Devon and Cornwall Police have handled nine reported offences between May 2015 and November 2015 - with victims aged from 19 to 44.
Only one incident has resulted in 'formal' action, with a caution issued to someone who shared images of a 19-year-old on Facebook.
In May 2015 a 25-year-old reported an instance to police but asked for no further action to be taken.
In the same month a 37-year-old said images had been shared on a website but police said there were 'evidential difficulties'.
And also in May a 24 year old said images had been shared on a website but police said after investigating 'as far as reasonably possible' they could not identify a suspect.
There were two incidents in June, one resulting in a caution and one involving images of a 31-year-old shared on Twitter where there were 'evidential difficulties'.
In September police investigated a complaint from a 44 year old over images on Twitter and decided the picture was not pornographic.
Three cases are under investigation from September, October and November involving two 20 year olds and a 56 year old, with images shared on a website and via Facebook.
