(WSVN) - If you have ever received an unsolicited nude photo, then you know how irritating it can be. Well now, in Texas, the act is illegal.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law making it a misdemeanor to send a naked photo that someone didn’t ask for.
Many people—especially women—get unwanted sexually explicit pictures by text or social media.
It’s disgusting.

“Many people – especially women – get unwanted sexually explicit pictures by text or social media. It’s disgusting,” Abbott said in a tweet. “Now, it’s illegal in Texas.”
The law goes into effect on Sept. 1, and anyone found guilty faces a fine of up to $500.
