Woman posted sexual photos of dad’s ex-lover on escort site in ‘vindictive’ plot

A ‘vindictive, selfish and vengeful’ woman who got revenge on her dad’s lover by posting her naked pictures online has been jailed.

Eleanor Brown, 24, held a deep-seated grudge against her victim since she was a child after her dad Geoff cheated on her mother with her.

The affair partner, who cannot be named for legal reasons, worked alongside Geoff as a police officer, but after ending the affair they both stayed with their respective spouses.

Brown ‘conspired’ with her sister, Sophie, and her mother, Sarah, to create the fake profile. Sophie and Sarah are both ex-police officers.

Harry Crowson, defending, said Brown had been ‘egged on’ by her family and had been severely traumatised after being shown those explicit images as a teenager for reasons which were never properly explained.

Over the years, he said, Brown’s victim, whom she had never met, had ‘become almost a caricature’ to her.

Mr Crowson added: ‘She became a warrior in war she ought never to be fighting. She needs to stop fighting a battle that’s not hers.’

Judge Alex Menary said the escort site post included the husband’s mobile number and he was then bombarded with texts and calls after it went live.

In a statement read out in court, Brown’s victim said that to describe her feeling ‘violated’ was an ‘understatement’, saying she was ‘sickened’ that the nude pictures of her had been posted on a public website for the sexual gratification of strangers.

She added that she was ‘fearful of what [Brown] is capable of’ and found it ‘difficult to believe’ that ‘a woman would do that to another woman’.

Brown, of Peel Street, Morley, Leeds, admitted two counts of disclosing private images half-way through her trial earlier this year.
