California's revenge porn law took effect on Monday, and a 36-year-old Los Angeles man was its first convict. Noe Iniguez posted topless pictures of his former girlfriend online, which resulted in his conviction.

The jury also found him guilty of violating two restraining orders that his ex-GF secured after Iniguez started to send her harassing text messages. In December 2011, he used a fake name and insulted her on his ex-GF employer's Facebook page.

Not satisfied with his action, he posted in March in the same Web site her topless photo and suggested that she be fired from her job.

With his conviction, Iniguez was sentenced by the judge to 12 months jail and three years probation on top of mandatory domestic violence counseling and staying away from his ex.

Under California's revenge porn law passed in 2013, it is illegal to distribute online nude and private, sexually explicit photos or videos of the person in them without their consent. It used to cover only images taken by other persons, but the law was amended in August to include selfies.
