A 54-year-old man pleaded guilty last Thursday to one count each of harassing his 45-year-old ex girlfriend and threatening to distribute her intimate photos.

He was reportedly unhappy with her and threatened to spread her n*des, trespassed into her home and using a knife to threaten her.

The parties cannot be named due to a gag order protecting the victim’s identity.

The man had taken the photos while the two were will in a romantic and sexual relationship, where he convinced her to pose naked in compromising positions for him to take pictures, which the victim consented to.

She didn’t consent to the distribution of the pictures though.

The man then threatened to distribute the photos in a text to the woman on 14 September last year.

He then armed himself with a knife 2 days later and trespassed into her home, questioning her about the alleged loans he made to her and jewellery that he allegedly passed to her about 5 years ago.

The victim knew nothing about the loans or jewellery and the two then got into an argument, with the man threatening to slash her

Another woman then stepped in and told him to stop, which he complied, and the police were called in.

The man is due to be sentenced on 5 July 2021.
