A MAN who sent a video of him having sex with a woman to her employer has been jailed after admitting revenge porn.

John Davison, 38, smashed items at the woman's Selby home when the two argued after a pub visit.

Sixteen days later he used Facebook and the internet to send the video to three people, including her employer.

Alisha Kaye, prosecuting, said the woman “talks about being humiliated and upset" about having to speak to her work about the incident.

She said: "It was a horrible incident and affected her, her family, friends and at work."

Davison’s barrister Brooke Morrison said he had no idea he had sent the videos because at the time he had been drinking vodka and taking pills in a suicide bid.

“He remembers nothing from this point until he was woken up by the police knocking on his door 24 hours later,” she said.

Judge Simon Hickey described the video of Davison having sex with the woman as “disgusting material”.

“This sentence must send a message to the public that sending this type of material will not be tolerated,” he told York Crown Court.

Davison, of Slaley Close, Felling, Gateshead, pleaded guilty to three charges of revenge porn and three of criminal damage.

He was jailed for eight months and banned from contacting the woman or going near her home for five years.

Miss Kaye, prosecuting, said Davison had accompanied the woman and others home after they had been talking together in a pub.

In the house, he threw bottles at the woman’s television and other items, the court heard.

Sixteen days later, a second woman alerted the first that she had received photographs and a video from Davison at 8.30am.

The first woman asked Davison not to send it to others, but he was abusive to her.

Miss Morrison said Davison had been going through a difficult period because members of his family had been ill. His mental health had suffered.

He is “genuinely remorseful”, she said.
