Natasha Harpley campaigns to criminalise explicit photos

A woman who received a sexually explicit image from a stranger on Facebook has started an online petition to make it a crime.

Natasha Harpley, 39, from Norwich, was sent an image of a penis after she refused a friend request.

The mother-of-three said sending so-called "dick pics" was a "form of sexual abuse".

A YouGov poll of more than 2,000 women aged between 18 and 36 found 46% said they had been sent a photo of a penis.

The Ministry of Justice said there was "already a range of existing offences under which offenders can be prosecuted".
