Then aged 19, she thought her future dreams of working in law or politics were over after she came across the photos posted on Facebook.
'I worked far away from where I studied and grew up so I wouldn't meet anyone I knew, and while I felt there was nothing wrong with that line of work, I knew many others would think otherwise,' Ms Purcell said. 'Then one day I was sitting at the hairdresser and when I logged into Facebook, I saw I was tagged in a picture without my consent which showed me working as a stripper and there were tonnes of comments.' 'I grew up in a small country town in Geelong so everyone kind of knows everyone and it just spread really quickly and viciously,' she revealed.
