Police have also confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that an apprehended violence order has been taken out by Police against Blake, which prevents him from entering Jen’s home state of New South Wales, where Jen is currently based.

Blake is being investigated under new legislation that criminalises the non-consensual distribution of intimate images, otherwise known as ‘revenge porn’.  

Under these laws, which came into effect in August, offenders who share or threaten to share revenge porn face up to three years in jail and a fine of $11,000.

Meanwhile, a source close to Jen has exclusively spoken to Daily Mail Australia about Jen and Blake’s acrimonious breakup and the events leading to Blake’s alleged revenge porn threat. 

‘Blake and Jen called it quits following a rocky romance earlier this year, but things really went south after Jen told Blake that she had found somebody else,’ the source said this week. 

‘It was two days after she told Blake she’d moved on. Blake had made his debut on The Bachelorette as the show’s ‘villain’ character that day, and Jen’s friends couldn’t believe she had dated such a horrible guy.’

‘Jen posted to her private Facebook page that her phone was going crazy with people sending messages about her former boyfriend, who was one of Sophie’s contestants on the show. She also posted that she was happy to get rid of her ‘douche’ ex,’ the insider went on.

‘After reading Jen’s post Blake completely lost it. He started sending her a barrage of insults, accusing her of the ultimate betrayal. Then, he threatened to sell nude photos of her to the media,’ the source claimed.  

They continued: ‘These photos were sent to him while they were still dating- so you can imagine how upset Jen was by these threats.’
