Ellie was in her final year of sixth form and had just turned 18 when a boy she had shared an intimate video with shared the footage with other pupils at the school.
Ellie talked to me about how the experience was detrimental to her in the long run, and feels that this was one of the triggers to some longer term mental health problems.
Studies have found that Revenge porn victims often suffer the similar trauma as victims of sexual assault, with some victims suffering with depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and even suicidal thoughts.
Listen to the audio below to hear her full story.
"The revenge porn was one side of it but then there was the abuse from not just him or his friends but from other females and people on nights out"
Ellie never reported the incident because she was embarrassed and felt ultimately it wouldn't be taken seriously.
"I just wanted it to go away"
When telling me about how her experience had affected her so personally she told me,
"I blame society for teaching women not to send the pictures rather than teaching men not to send them round, or the other way round, in my instance I feel like my whole life I've been taught never to send explicit images or videos and I feel like men have never had a talk about not sending them around"
She told me that although this had happened during her time at school, it was only after she had started going to university that her mental health seriously declined and she had to be prescribed anti-depressants, and although there were other factors for why she had to take them she told me "when I look back this is when it began".
"I started not to believe in myself and I had low self esteem."
Ellie wanted to speak about her experience as it happened nearly five years ago and still affects her now.
"I don't want to feel embarrassed anymore or like it was my fault anymore"
