Reid then lost her job at the charity which provides supported living for 900 people with learning disabilities in England and Scotland, he added.

She posted the sexual photographs on the Facebook page for Broadwater Tool Supplies on October 5.

The court heard that Mr Page's new wife was a director of the business which supplies hand tools to garages, farmers and others across East Anglia.

Mr Bryant said up to 4,000 people could have seen the offensive Facebook posting. Reid also tagged in Mr Page's colleagues on her posting so that they could see the pictures as well, he added.

Paul Booty, defending said Reid and Mr Page became friendly after her relationship with her boyfriend ended.

He added: "He managed to get hold of her mobile phone number and then he started texting. The texts become flirtatious and things developed."

When Mr Page got married, he texted Reid saying he wished she was his wife, said Mr Booty. He said that Reid felt she had been taken advantage and now realised that she was "foolish and naïve".
