ANYONE caught sharing explicit images of people without their consent will face up to two years in prison from today as new laws targeting “revenge porn” come into force.

The sex crime was put under the spotlight after intimate pictures of celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kelly Brook were leaked online — giving the campaign for legislation cross-party backing.
