Is there a law against some one sending another person unsolicited sexually explicit pictures of themselves over their phone?

Have any of you ever had to deal with it? If so, what did you do?

Context please. To a minor, from a minor. . . . ?
Receiving party got a picture of unknown or known individual?

Dutchess_III's avatar

No minors involved. Yes, they know each other. He moved to Texas.

Well if the sender is underage the receiver can get into trouble for pocessing it.

They are both in their 20’s. It was just kind of a random foolish thing. A guy sent the picture to a woman, and she is married.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Well why would he do that? Is she being unfaithful to her husband with him?

Well, Anthony Weiner and others seem to do it on a regular basis without any legal consequences.

What it does to their careers is a different story altogether.

So, they’re guilty of poor judgement and juvenile behavior if nothing else.

No @SQUEEKY2. She’d never be unfaithful. Plus, if it was that she wouldn’t have told her husband. Besides, the guy is in Texas and she’s here in Kansas.

They guy was a friend of the husbands and they still kept in touch after he moved. The wife texted him telling him that she got a new phone and new number, but it didn’t have a camera so she couldn’t sent him a selfie. He said, “I’ve got a selfie for ya!” and sent that. I think it was a one time thing…maybe he was drunk.

A law against it? Probably if she makes it clear to him this time that she does not appreciate it and he never does it again, no law broken. Now if he continues to do it, she can probably go to the police and say he’s harassing her. I would think after just one time, though, it’s not really a big deal. A little misunderstanding, he won’t do it again, sorry sorry.

no there is not a law for it, and there shouldn’t be.

There are enough ridiculous social laws that clog the justice system.

Why do guys think that any woman would be thrilled beyond belief to be honored with an unsolicited photo of their junk ?

Are they really under the delusion that it’s so trenendously attractive looking? I mean really….

Not illegal, just pretty uncool.

” but it didn’t have a camera so she couldn’t sent him a selfie.” Why would she be sending a selfie to a friend of her husband’s? I’m not asking in an accusatory way. Just an honest question.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I don’t know, @anniereborn. I wondered the same thing myself. In fact, I have a million questions about the whole situation that are unanswered. I asked the husband if his wife had shown him the picture and he said she hadn’t. Part of me is wondering if she made the whole thing up.
