"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.
