A jealous boyfriend hacked into his ex’s Amazon account and ordered badges saying ‘Slut of the Year’ and ‘Cheap and Easy’, a court heard.

Daniel Dennis Robinson, 24, met his ex-partner, student Sarah Douce, on the dating app Tinder but was described as “controlling” by Miss Douce.

She told police how he would ask her to prove her whereabouts by sending pictures to his phone.

Robinson, of Fell Street, Kensington , pleaded guilty to fraud at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court and was ordered to complete 150 hours unpaid work and to pay £200 compensation.

Amanda Cullen, prosecuting, said: “She (Miss Douce) described the defendant as controlling and not very trusting. He would ask her to prove where she was by sending her a picture on Snapchat.”

Ms Cullen said the relationship ended following a row in February, when Robinson punched a bathroom door in Miss Douce’s student accomodation.

He also admitted one charge of criminal damage in relation to that incident.

Ms Cullen said: “On March 21 Miss Douce found someone had sent an email from her account to her mother’s account. She also found someone had ordered items from her Amazon account. These included badges saying Cheap and Easy and Slut of the Year, and a book called Sluts.”

The incident was reported to police and Robinson was arrested.

He admitted punching the door and accessing the Amazon account to order the items, but told officers he had been drunk at the time.

Robinson said he had been upset that the complainant was “cheating on him” and found the items by searching the word ‘slut’.

He was slapped with a five year restraining order and ordered to pay £85 prosecution costs and an £85 victim surcharge.
