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.
Restraining order
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.
