New sexual offence laws are now in effect on the Island.
They aim to update legislation, increase maximum penalties and strengthen sentencing powers for offences against children.
The Act introduces crimes like voyeurism, revenge porn and 'upskirting' into Manx law.
It also means conversion therapy will be outlawed, child abuse and exploitation charges updated, and court anonymity rules revised.
