Did they give consent to showing them around?

I think the thought is, that basically no pictures you take of anybody come with any formal consent of showing them around.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2016/22/enacted

The law relates to "a photograph or film which shows, or appears to show, another person (“B”) in an intimate situation,"

which is further defined:

"a person is in an “intimate situation” if—

(a)the person is engaging or participating in, or present during, an act which—

(i)a reasonable person would consider to be a sexual act, and

(ii)is not of a kind ordinarily done in public, or

(b)the person’s genitals, buttocks or breasts are exposed or covered only with underwear."

Thought? No, the law. As Jabbles points out.

How about this. Would you be comfortable with someone who had an intimate/sexual photo of you sharing it around?

Don't be shitty to other people. Why is this hard?

This maybe true, but some may well come with a expectation of privacy.
