ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The Maryland House of Delegates has approved a measure making it a crime to post so-called revenge porn.

Delegates passed the bill 130-0 Friday morning.

Among several competing versions that went to the House Judiciary Committee, committee members chose one filed by Delegate Luiz Simmons. It sets the penalties at two years in prison and a $500 fine. Another bill by Delegate John Cardin included significantly stiffer penalties, including five years imprisonment.

Simmons said he believes this bill could serve as a model for other states.
