NBC LA – People who receive unwelcome sexually graphic material could sue senders under a bill sent to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk.The Pew Research Center found that 33% of women under 35 had been sexually harassed online, three times as often as men. In a 2017 report, the center said more than half of women age 18-29 had been sent unsolicited explicit images, as had 37% of men in the same age range. The bill would allow recipients to recover at least $1,500 and as much as $30K from senders of obscene material who are older than age 18, as well as punitive damages and attorney's fees. They could also seek court orders blocking such behavior in the future.
