Police are investigating a "new" crime of cyber-flashing after a commuter received an indecent image on her phone as she travelled to work.

The victim received two pictures of an unknown man's penis on her phone via Apple's Airdrop sharing function.

Lorraine Crighton-Smith, 34, said she felt "violated" and reported it to the British Transport Police (BTP).

The question that springs to mind is - did he take the photo in situ or did he already have photos of his private parts on his phone -- and if so, why?

The way I read the article it looks like the pictures were delivered unsolicited to the persons mobile.
In chat roulette, while you may not be looking for that sort of thing, you effectively accept the risk that it could happen.
