Landlord asking student tenant for intimate photo is 'sexual exploitation' 

'Asking for that photograph is exploitation. It is hard to see why somebody would be looking to see somebody in an intimate body image for any reason other than for sexual exploitation.'

A situation in which a student was asked for an intimate photo of herself by her landlord is a clear example of sexual exploitation in the housing market.

That is according to the chief executive of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Noeline Blackwell. She was reacting to the experience of Alma Yasbeth Pacheco Correa from Mexico City, who told the Irish Examiner on Saturday that she was asked for the photo by her landlord a number of months after paying him a deposit for a room in his house in Tallaght for the current academic year.
