I saw revenge porn on accident...should I tell the unwitting party?

Dear Prudence,
A few days ago a friend sent me the link to a porn video that stars the (recently) ex-girlfriend of a mutual good friend. The video is clearly shot in private, and although it shows her face it doesn't have her name on it. This girl behaved really badly and completely shattered my friend's heart, and while I don't want to believe he would put something like this online, he is so hurt that it's not outside the realm of possibility. She would lose her job and her career if this video was found, and she comes from a very conservative family. My questions: What are my obligations here? Do I ask my friend about it? Contact the ex? Part of me wished I could forget that I saw it at all.

  • Damn.  I thought this was going to be a real thing, @mrs.conn23.  I was ready for all the juicy details.  (That is, until I opened it and saw Dear Prudence at the top, in bold.  Because I am not a complete moron.)
  • I'd drop her a note anonymously.  

    You can't trust anyone these days, i guess.  It bothers me, b/c a video between 2 consenting adults, even if released, shouldn't matter, but it does.
  • How about, just don't make videos of yourself doing things you don't want the world to see.

    And - here's a question.  Who emails porn to their friends?
  • I would contact the woman to let her know that this is out there.
