My gf has been away at a work conference and last night when we spoke she asked me to send her a pic message of a certain part of my anatomy when it was in a state of 'alertness'.
So I did. Except I sent it to the number listed underneath my gf's number in my contacts list, a female work colleague of mine! I was sick to my stomach for around 15 minutes, until I got a reply from my colleague which said 'nice! see you at work tmrw'. I called my gf and told her what had happened. Thankfully she laughed!
Now I realise I am damn lucky to have got away with it, but it got me thinking, is it actually illegal to send rude pics via your mobile phone? If the person listed under my gf's name had been my boss's wife, who had been mortally offended by receiving the image of my todger, could she have reported me to the Police? Would I have been convicted?
