Sinn Fein Councillor Emma McGinley

Sinn Féin Councillor Emma McGinley has welcomed Assembly support for a new cyberflashing offence to criminalise the sending of unwanted sexual images.

Said the Moor representative: “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 and I’m very pleased to see it passed today.”
