Mocked up images of RTE stars have appeared on several porn websites.
According to the Irish Mail On Sunday, Gardai are now investigating after they found fake images of stars like Vogue Williams and Kathryn Thomas superimposed onto pornographic photos.
Claire Byrne and Rachel Allen were also affected, with their faces photoshopped onto photos of naked bodies.

Speaking to the Mail On Sunday, top Irish cook Rachel Allen said the situation was terrible.
“It must be awful for someone whose real images have been used,” she said.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have but when I heard about mine I did somehow manage to see the funny side of it.
“But on a serious level, there absolutely needs to be laws,” she added.

At the moment, there is currently no law against uploading images of a person without their consent online – unless the person is underage.
However a recent report by the Law Reform Commission recommended new laws with regards to online harassment, as well as uploading images without consent.
Most countries do already have a law in place and have been prosecuting people.
