A heavily-tattooed Queensland mum posted 'distressing' revenge porn photos of her own friend on Facebook.

Single mother-of-five Temika Gow, 22, called her former friend a 'Big Fat Swamp A****' as she sent the sexually-explicit pictures to friends and family online.

The friend, whose identity is not known, had been staying at Gow's house in Labrador on the Gold Coast when the pictures were taken from her phone.

After the devastated victim found out the images had been sent to her own family, Gow boasted: 'Your shit's been leaked'.

Gow admitted to downloading the images because her friend had 'lied to her', the court was told according to the Courier Mail.

She was sentenced to 200 hours’ community service after pleading guilty to distributing intimate images.

The stay-at-home mum sent the pictures to her victim's family, as well as posting them to a group chat called 'The Big Fat Swamp A***'.

Her actions were described as 'deplorable' in court, with the prosecutor saying it had caused the former friend 'incredible distress'.

Magistrate Kerry Magee said Gow had shown 'no remorse but rather jubilation' over her actions.

When asked how she would feel if the same happened to her, Gow told the court: 'Exactly how she (the victim) feels.'

What is revenge porn? Revenge porn is used to describe the distribution of intimate and sexual images of someone without their consent. In 2018 Australia passed laws which criminalize sharing intimate photos of others. Corporations can be fined up to $525,000 and individuals up to $105,000 Advertisement

While often referred to as ‘revenge porn’, the crime of sharing an intimate image without consent is not always motivated by revenge.

It is also illegal to threaten to share an intimate image without the pictured person’s consent.

An intimate image is defined as a photograph which shows either a person's genitals or backside, whether they are nude or covered by underwear, or a woman's breasts.

It also includes images showing a person engaged in an intimate sexual activity which is not normally done in public.

The maximum penalty for sharing or threatening to share an intimate image without consent is three years in prison.
