The first person to be convicted under cyber flashing laws introduced by Alex has been jailed for 66 weeks after he announced a change to the law in January 2024.
Through the Online Safety Act, Alex changed the law so that anyone found guilty of sending unsolicited sexual images faces up to two years in prison.
Alex said:
"Cyber flashing is a degrading and distressing crime which cannot be tolerated or normalised.
“We’ve changed the law so those who perpetrate these vile acts face time behind bars, and today’s sentence sends an unequivocal message that such behaviour will have severe consequences.”
