Description
A SOUTHAMPTON man tried to humiliate a woman by sending revenge porn to her mother, a court heard.
Adam Keith Parker, 30, had access to the woman's online cloud storage account meaning he could see all of her photos.
Parker sent a naked photo and another image of his victim wearing see-through items to her mother last year.
He was eventually reported to the police.
A Crown Prosecution Service solicitor said that the messages caused the woman a “massive amount of anxiety” and she is now wanting to be assessed for PTSD.
In a statement, the woman said she was left feeling emotionally exhausted knowing Parker had been through her account “stalking and keeping tabs” on her.
At Southampton Magistrates' Court he pleaded guilty to disclosing private sexual photographs without consent with the intention of causing distress.
Defending, Oliver O’Connor, argued that the images were not in the public domain and the offence was not as serious as if he had been “plastering them on the internet”.
District Judge Peter Greenfield scolded Parker, saying he had intended to humiliate his victim.
He jailed him for 12 weeks, suspended for 12 months.
Parker must complete 15 rehabilitation activity days and pay £500 in compensation.
He must also pay a £128 victim surcharge and £85 in court costs.
Parker is subject to a restraining order for two years and three months.
