Newry MLA Liz Kimmins welcomes new laws to criminalise cyberflashing | Newry Times
Newry Sinn Féin MLA Liz Kimmins has welcomed Assembly support for a new cyberflashing offence to criminalise the sending of unwanted sexual images.
The Newry and Armagh MLA comments, “I welcome the introduction of a new offence of cyber-flashing which outlaws sending unsolicited or unwanted sexual images either online or in public.
“Whether it’s sending these images to a stranger’s phone on public transport, or sending pictures to people online, this disgusting behaviour must be tackled.
“Criminalising this behaviour sends out a strong message that it cannot and will not be tolerated.
She adds, “I’m very pleased to see it passed today.”
