Jacqueline Doyle, 55, (pictured outside Plymouth Crown Court) was convicted of revenge porn

A bitter ex has become one of the first women to be convicted of revenge porn after she sent intimate pictures of her former partner to his boss and daughter.

Jacqueline Doyle, 55, from Plympton in Devon, created a fake Facebook profile to send private images she had taken of her victim's genitals during their relationship.

She also complained to one of her partner's senior managers to say the victim had sent the images himself, Plymouth Crown Court heard.

The judge handed Doyle a 12-month community order with a two-month home curfew.

It is one of just a few cases brought under new legislation for so called revenge porn - and one of the very first involving a woman.

Judge James Townsend said: 'These are unpleasant offences designed to cause considerable distress to the victim.

'It is particularly unpleasant after you involved a member of the victim's family. You are now aged 55 and have expressed regret for what you have done.'

Doyle pleaded guilty to two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs without consent with the intention of causing distress on June 8 and June 10.

Nick Lewin, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said the couple had been in a relationship and lived together until June of this year.

He added that the victim's daughter received a Facebook message in the name of a man she did not know - a false profile created by Doyle.

Mr Lewin said: 'She opened the message and saw two photographs, one of her father's face and another of his genitalia. She forwarded the message to her father and he confirmed it was a picture taken as part of their relationship.'

The barrister added that she emailed the same pictures to a senior manager at the company where her partner worked.

Mr Lewin said she used her name but acted as if she was an aggrieved customer.

She said: 'I am not happy with your staff. One of them sent these to my wife.'

Mr Lewin added: 'I am glad to say that the company kept things under wraps and the only other people who know are that manager and the victim's direct line manager.'

Mr Lewin said that the victim had kept in touch with the defendant since the offences.

Michael Green, for Doyle, said she had 'expressed a high level or remorse'.

He added that drinking alcohol 'seemed to be the build-up to this level of offending.'

Judge Townsend handed Doyle a 12-month community order with a two-month home curfew.

She must also complete probation's Rehabilitation Activity Requirement and pay £85 victim surcharge.

The judge declined to pass a restraining order to keep Doyle, who has no previous convictions, away from the victim.

It became a criminal offence to disclose private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress in April 2015, but numbers of prosecutions and convictions resulting from the new law are still low.

A support service for victims said the low numbers were 'no surprise', reporting that victims often consider legal options too traumatic to consider.

Local news site Plymouth Live succeeded in removing a court order which effectively prevented media reporting Doyle's identity but decided not to identify the victim.
