The Australian state of Victoria has made it illegal to distribute explicit images without consent. The new law specifically outlaws "non-consensual sexting," which generally takes place when lovers split and there is post-breakup payback in the form of intimate photos of the former partners. The law does exempt children who distribute such images in order to ensure that they aren't charged with child pornography. This reportedly has been a problem in the past, and has led to children being registered as sex offenders.Australian State Outlaws Non-Consensual Sexting
