    Damn. Five years seems a bit steep. Dude could have partaken in like two American insurrections and served the same time.

      He already had a past history as a sex offender and one of the victims in this case was a child.

    Wait Wait Wait Wait Wait Wait Wait hold on a minute, back up.

    They made unsolicited dick pics a crime?

    That’s one of the best things I’ve ever heard.

      England’s first convicted cyberflasher was sentenced Tuesday to 5 1/2 years in prison after sending unsolicited photos of his genitals to a teenage girl and a woman.

      I think the age of the teenager may have played a pivot of role in the decision, so I wouldn’t necessarily say this is going to happen to everyone who sends them.
