Man Posted Ex-Girlfriend's Nude Photos After Relationship Ended

A 26-year-old man was sentenced to 10 weeks' imprisonment for posting nude photographs of his ex-girlfriend on Tumblr. The incident occurred after the victim ended their relationship upon discovering he was involved with another woman. The man's actions were a response to an argument he was having with his other girlfriend, for which he blamed the victim.

The man's actions were precipitated by an argument he was having with his other girlfriend, which he attributed to his ex-girlfriend. When the victim stated she could not help resolve this dispute, the man threatened to upload her nude photographs on Tumblr, making disparaging remarks. Despite her pleas, he proceeded to post three images of her breasts on a publicly accessible Tumblr page, accompanied by a caption inviting direct messages.

The victim had previously consented to the man taking nude photos and videos during their intimate encounters and had also sent him photos of her breasts when requested. The relationship had ended early the previous year when she learned of his infidelity. The man, a freelance deliveryman, pleaded guilty to criminal intimidation and transmitting obscene photos.

The Deputy Public Prosecutor highlighted that such instances of "revenge porn" are becoming increasingly common. The court also took into consideration another charge of possessing 10 obscene films for sentencing purposes. The man's prior convictions in 2016 and 2017 for unrelated offences were also noted during the proceedings.
