On Monday, a Los Angeles man named Noe Iniguez became the first person ever to receive a sentence for violating California's new revenge porn law. Iniguez got one year in jail and 36 months probation for three criminal counts, one of which was revenge porn-related.
Noe Iniguez, 36, of Los Angeles was sentenced Monday to one year in jail and 36 months of probation and will be required to attend domestic violence counseling for violating both the state’s revenge porn statute and two restraining orders. He was prosecuted by Deputy City Attorney Brad Pregerson.
Iniguez’s actions, including posting derogatory comments about his ex and a topless photo of her with a message calling her a "drunk" and a "s***" and urging the employer to fire her, are part of a larger, troubling trend that pushed California lawmakers to adopt the first legislation in October 2013 against these vengeful attacks. More than a dozen states have followed California’s lead and passed similar laws
