"UK Cyberflasher Receives Record Jail Sentence for Genital Photo"

Nicholas Hawkes, a 39-year-old man from Essex, England, has been sentenced to 66 weeks in prison for sending unsolicited explicit photos to a 15-year-old girl and an adult woman through WhatsApp, becoming the first person to be sentenced under the new cyberflashing law in England and Wales. The Online Safety Act criminalizes cyberflashing, and offenders can face up to two years in prison. Hawkes, who was already a convicted sex offender, received an additional 14 weeks for breaching a previous court order and was given a restraining order and a sexual harm prevention order. The law aims to combat online sexual harassment, and the Crown Prosecution Service encourages other victims to come forward, assuring them lifelong anonymity.

"First 'Cyberflasher' Jailed Under New Law in England"

A 39-year-old man in the UK has been sentenced to over a year in prison for sending unsolicited genital images to a 15-year-old girl and a woman in her 60s, becoming the first person charged under the new Online Safety Act. The act, which took effect in January, includes provisions against unsolicited nudes. The man, already on probation for previous offenses, pleaded guilty to causing alarm, distress, or humiliation. The law has faced criticism for other provisions, but the ban on unsolicited nudes, especially to minors, has been widely supported. U.S. laws on cyberflashing vary, with Virginia and California passing recent legislation to address the issue.
