Revenge porn case sees first woman convicted

Ex’s mother and grandparents saw explicit photos as

well as countless online strangers

 


A JILTED lover has become the first woman to be

convicted of victimising a man by using revenge porn

after posting explicit images of him online without

his consent.

 


Saleswoman Ellie Melaugh, 20, was said to have turned

her ex’s life into a ‘nightmare’ after uploading the

pictures to his Facebook and Twitter.

 


She is believed to be the first female found guilty of

a crime under revenge porn legislation introduced a

year ago.

 


The images were posted alongside his name and full

address and were seen by the victim’s mother and

grandparents as well as countless online strangers.

 


She also set up a fake profile on dating site Plenty

of Fish to humiliate him as well as calling him

hundreds of times.

 


He was forced to repeatedly change his number to avoid

contact from her and others.

 


The offences were so serious she was given a suspended

jail sentence when she admitted to harassment and

posting the revenge porn at Wimbledon Magistrates’

Court.

 

 

Speaking last night, the man, who cannot be named for

legal reasons, told how he was suddenly flooded with

phone calls from friends and family warning him the

pictures were online.

 


He said: “It was a terrible ordeal. She turned my life

into a living nightmare. Everyone could see she was

trying to destroy me. I was living with my grandmother

at the time and she was suffering from cancer. The

whole thing just spiralled out of control.”

 


The victim said he was forced to leave his job as a

manager at a respected national firm as a result of

the attacks. He said: “She was a childish woman who

would strop, stamp her feet and cry if she did not get

her way.

 


“Near the end of the relationship I felt scared of

her, she would not leave me alone. One night we rowed

and I said I would go to the pub so she could calm

down. When I turned around she was eating my money to

stop me. She had a £10 note in her mouth and swallowed

it.”

 


Magistrate Rachel Lipscomb sentenced Melaugh to a 12-

week jail term, suspended for two years, and also

imposed an indefinite restraining order preventing her

from contacting the victim.

 


From April last year a law made it illegal to share

sexually explicit images without the subject’s

consent. The maximum penalty is two years’ jail.

 


Only two women are believed to have been convicted of

revenge pornography so far but in both cases the

victims were also women.
