Police report spike in new cases of 'cyber-flashing'
Coventry Telegraph
|November 28, 2025
NEARLY 250 cyber-flashing crimes have been recorded by police in the West Midlands since it became an offence last year, new figures show.
Cyber-flashing is when someone sends a photo or video of genitals to another person to scare, upset or humiliate them. It became a specific criminal offence in January 2024 under the Online Safety Act.
Figures from the Home Office focusing on crimes which primarily target women and girls show 3,951 cyber-flashing offences were recorded by police in England and Wales up to the end of June this year.
The Met Police recorded the highest number of cyber-flashing crimes (268), followed by West Midlands Police (240) and Essex Police (192).
