A Scots tattoo artist who posted revenge porn of a model who dumped him has been jailed for 11 months.
Alex Evans used his victim’s naked picture as his social media profile so dozens of his contacts could see it after she ended their brief relationship.
Evans has been ordered to stay away from the woman and her friend for the next 10 years under the terms of a non-harassment order.
Sheriff Paul Brown said: “These are serious offences, committed against a background of your daunting schedule of previous convictions.
“You have shown limited insight and remorse in respect of your offending.”
Evans, 29, admitted intentionally causing the 24-year-old woman alarm or distress by posting revenge porn.
Prosecutor Lora Apostolova told Dundee Sheriff Court: “In October 2020, she ended the relationship. She continued to receive text messages from the accused. She asked him to stop the messages but he sent more.
“He thereafter put her naked image as his profile picture on WhatsApp – meaning that all his contacts could see her naked image.
“He then sent a message to her friend on SnapChat which contained her naked image.
“He sent a video to the friend of a black-handled knife taped to a wall and saying, ‘Be careful who you meet’.”
Evans, a prisoner at HMP Grampian – admitted sending threatening or abusive messages, videos and voice recordings to a second woman.
Sheriff Brown sentenced Evans to 21 months in jail but reduced the term because of his time spent on remand.
