The 46-year-old could potentially be placed on the Sex Offenders Register if found guilty.
The charge, which has been brought under section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, relates to an image that was posted on social media in April last year.
The act makes it illegal to intentionally share sexual images of someone without their consent, to cause alarm, distress, or humiliation, or for sexual gratification.
Laurence Fox, who smears LGBTQ+ as sexual offenders, has been charged as a sex offender.

52-year-old presenter, Narinder Kaur, waived her right to anonymity.
She alleges the compromising image shows her getting out of a taxi in 1996 and was taken without her knowledge and consent.
Kaur reported the image when it was shared online by Fox, which subsequently triggered an 11-month investigation by the Met.
She has previously said she felt “violated, humiliated and degraded” by the incident.
Fox, 46, who has recently attempted to enter the world of politics, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 24 April, where he is expected to enter a plea.
If convicted, he faces up to two years in prison and could be placed on the Sex Offenders Register.

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The disgraced star took to X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier today: “Well it looks like I’m back from my T***ter holiday!
“This is yet another deeply concerning example of the two-tier British “justice” system in all its Soviet glory.
“I will deal with this untrue, ridiculous, vexatious and malicious nonsense just like last time they tried it on.
“How much more time, effort and tax payer money are the @metpoliceuk going to spend ignoring actual crimes in their efforts to silence ordinary British people?
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
