It's really not. You are describing spoliation of evidence. The sex tape being shared is in itself illegal. Unless you somehow thing the other party authorized it being shared. Which is wilful blindness IMO.
You don't have to tell someone to delete a video in order to tell them not to share it any more. Just tell them it's a crime to share it. Or take their phone. Or move the file. Don't destroy the evidence.
Plus, if there was a true consent issue and the video was destroyed you've now lost exculpatory evidence.
