Upskirting and cyber-flashing laws come into effect in Northern Ireland
Police in Northern Ireland Can now charge people with upskirting, downblousing and cyber-flashing.
Perpetrators could Face Up to two years in prison and up to 10 Years on the Sex Offenders Register.
Enhanced laws addressing online child impersonation and threats to share private sexual images are also among new offences taking effect on Monday.
The offences are part of the Justice, Sexual Offences and Trafficking Victims Act 2022.
Also included in the legislation is an expansion of rules to better protect children from those who seek to abuse their position of trust to exploit or abuse them.
Those responsible for Young People in the area of sport or religion now come within scope of the abuse of trust offences.
Det Supt Lindsay Fisher from The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) welcomed the new legislation and said it sends " a clear message" that these behaviours will not be tolerated.
" I want to make it clear that Anyone - any gender, any age - Can be a victim of these crimes. However, we know from experience that the vast majority of those affected are sadly women and girls, who up Until Now have not felt able to come forward and report, " She Said .
" Escalating violence against women and girls does not happen in a cultural vacuum.
" This legislation will go a long way to help address the prevailing sexist attitudes and behaviours in our society that underpin violence, abuse and intimidation against women and girls. "
The Move was brought forward by former Justice Minister Naomi Long Who Said it would make an " important contribution" to combatting abuse and violence.
Speaking at The Time , the Alliance Party leader said many victims of abuse suffered " emotional trauma" and for too long this had been a " taboo" subject.
She described the legislation as " The Final piece of the jigsaw".
