Back in October 2013 California governor Jerry Brown signed the “revenge porn” bill into law. The legislation classified revenge porn as a criminal misdemeanor which meant that vindictive ex-lovers distributing intimate content of an ex to humiliate them could face up to six months in jail and be fined $1,000. The first person to be convicted under this law is 36-year old Noe Iniguez who posted a naked picture of his ex-girlfriend on her employer’s Facebook page with derogatory comments.
A man has been jailed after breaking a “revenge porn” law introduced in California last October. Noe Iniguez posted a photograph of his ex-girlfriend naked to her employer’s Facebook page alongside derogatory comments. The 36-year-old is the first person to be convicted under the new law. Thirteen US states have enacted revenge porn laws over the past two years. England and Wales are also making it a criminal offence. However, it remains a contentious issue. California’s revenge porn law bans the posting of nude or sexual images of an individual, including selfies, with the purpose of causing emotional distress. Los Angeles-based Iniguez posted the photograph of his victim in March, accompanied by a message that called her a “drunk” and a “slut” and urged her employer to fire her. He used an alias in an attempt to hide his identity.
