[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 528127, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//classifications/gadgets/phones/mobile-phones/images/blyk-sms-message-200-200.jpg[/IMG] Scotland has revised its crime laws to include penalties for people who send text messages containing unwanted sexual content. The Sexual Offences Bill that was updated last week now includes a section titled 'Communicating Indecently Etc' and is intended to outline the once muddled legalities of communicating indecently. The law includes all written material - whether it be by letter, text or email - and makes it an offence to send unsolicited material that could give the sender "sexual gratification or to humiliate, distress or alarm the receiver." [B]Indecent imagery[/B] It is now also an offence in Scotland to send indecent imagery via text or email of a real or 'imagined' person without the permission of the receiver. This activity could land the sender 10 years in prison. Speaking in the [I]The Scotsman[/I] newspaper, The Scottish Law Commission's Colin Tyre said: "We wanted to make sure all forms of communication were covered by a single law. Sending offensive e-mails in the workplace has become more common, as have text messages."
