Revenge porn can now get you up to two years jail in England and Wales.

A new law's come into effect making it an offence to share private nude photos or sexual videos without consent.

Revenge porn has come under increased global scrutiny after several high-profile legal cases resulted in little or no jail time.

In November, 21-year old Luke King was the first person to be prosecuted in England for posting revenge porn after sharing sharing nude images of his ex-girlfriend on WhatsApp.

A national outcry erupted after he received just a 12-week jail sentence -- the maximum penalty under previous laws.
