A man has been arrested and charged over the release of an explicit sex tape.

The x-rated video was posted online, but has since been removed. Police launched an investigation after the clip was reported as revenge porn.

Police Scotland confirmed that a 24-year-old man has been arrested and charged over the release of the clip, and will appear in court at a later date.

Sergeant Lynsey Thomson said: "It is important that people are mindful of what is posted and shared online and the impact it can have on both themselves and others.

"Any reports of offences committed online will be thoroughly investigated and anyone found to be involved will be robustly dealt with."
