ALEX EVANS FROM DUNDEE JAILED FOR REVENGE PORN DISPLAY

Alex Evans, a tattoo artist based in Dundee, has been sentenced to 11 months in prison after he was found guilty of sharing revenge porn involving a former partner. The incident stemmed from a personal breakup, during which Evans took a naked photograph of his ex-girlfriend and subsequently used it as his profile picture on social media platforms.

Following the end of their short-lived relationship, Evans took the provocative step of posting the explicit image publicly, ensuring that dozens of his contacts and followers could view it. This act of digital humiliation was a clear breach of privacy and caused significant distress to the victim.

The court heard that Evans’s actions were deliberate and malicious, aimed at humiliating the woman after their breakup. The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, was deeply affected by the exposure and the invasion of her privacy.

Judge presiding over the case emphasized the seriousness of the offense, highlighting the emotional harm inflicted on victims of revenge porn. Evans’s decision to use the image as his social media profile picture was described as a calculated move to shame and embarrass his former partner.

Evans was subsequently convicted of revenge porn and related charges, leading to his imprisonment. The case serves as a stark reminder of the legal consequences of sharing explicit images without consent, especially in the context of personal relationships that have ended.

Authorities in Dundee have reiterated their commitment to tackling revenge porn and protecting individuals from such invasive acts, urging anyone affected to come forward and seek help.
