Cyber-Flasher Breaks Bad: First Conviction in England & Wales for Digital Indecency

In a digital misdeed gone limp, Nicholas Hawkes becomes the first in England to be convicted of cyber-flashing, proving that not all messages deserve a ‘read receipt’.

Hot Take:

Well, if "cyber-flashing" sounds like a futuristic crime involving trench coats and holograms, let me assure you, it's not. It's the digital version of that creepy dude in the park, but with screenshots and WhatsApp. And in England and Wales, Nicholas Hawkes just became the inaugural member of the Cyber-Flashers Hall of Shame. How's that for a dubious distinction? Remember folks, keep your private bits away from the send button – you don't want to be part of this club.
