Coronation Street has been working with the NSPCC over Asha Alahan's next major storyline.
In scenes airing later this month, Asha (Tanisha Gorey) performs a striptease for her new boyfriend Corey Brent while on a video call, but becomes devastated when images are leaked by Corey and spread around the school.
The ITV soap has worked with the children's charity in the past including for Bethany Platt's grooming ordeal. This time, it is consulting with NSPCC's senior policy officer Alana Ryan.
"We know that a third of all child sexual abuse is perpetrated by peers and this includes non-contact offences, such as the taking and sharing of sexual images without consent," Ryan said (via Manchester Evening News).
"When working with the team at Coronation Street, we really wanted to ensure young viewers understood that taking and sharing photos without permission is never acceptable.
"We also hoped to use the script to highlight how we all have a shared responsibility to support someone who has been the victim of non-consensual sexual image sharing."
Gorey recently discussed the storyline with The Mirror and how her character Asha struggles with what happens.
"It completely crumbles her, destroys her reputation, everything. People in the Street have seen her strip. Everyone has seen it and is talking about it," she said.
"She is bullied at school, ends up moving school. Walking down to Roy's Rolls, everyone is talking about Asha."
