In a furious email blast to everyone from the Prime Minister to the press, Tabuya slammed the leak as a heinous act of cyber-violence, spotlighting the dark side of technology where two-thirds of Fiji’s women reportedly face similar digital nightmares.
She defiantly declared that there’s nothing wrong with sharing intimate moments with your partner, but the real crime is when those moments get snatched and spread across the internet.
Tabuya didn’t hold back, accusing media outlet Fijivillage of unethical reporting, claiming they splashed the story on their social media without so much as a fact-check or a courtesy call.
She’s now gunning for justice, with evidence in hand against at least one culprit, ready to unleash the law via the Online Safety and Crimes Acts. With threats of legal action against anyone else sharing the video, the minister’s standing firm, turning her personal ordeal into a war cry against sextortion and revenge porn. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rabuka has reportedly demanded answers.
