A jilted girlfriend posted revenge porn photographs of her former boyfriend naked in the bath after she spotted him online dating, a court has heard.
Mother-of-three Sarah Davies, 29, of Ely, Cardiff, used the naked pictures online after discovering her ex-boyfriend Luke Aquilina looking for love on Plenty of Fish.
She uploaded two naked photos of him in the bath alongside a series of captions – including: ‘Rule number one. Don’t p*** a bitch off.’

Mr Aquilina dated Davies for four months after meeting on Facebook, but she became ‘controlling and obsessive’ – and he ended the relationship on June 10.
Cardiff Crown Court heard three days after the split, Mr Aquilina was on dating app Plenty of Fish when he had a message from his ex threatening to use the photos.
He messaged her saying: ‘Put them up if you want and feel the full force of the law.’
Davies then uploaded the photos to Plenty of Fish with a message saying: ‘Those who laugh last will laugh longest. You are a laughing stock.’

Prosecutor Andrew Kendall said: ‘Mr Aquilina describes her phoning him on withheld numbers and making threats to kill herself.
‘Mr Aquilina received a request on Facebook from an account in his name and the photo was the same that had been used on the Plenty of Fish profile.’
The court heard Facebook deleted the account after it was reported – but Davies set up two more profiles in his name.
She also uploaded the photos to Snapchat with the caption: ‘Ain’t he handsome (smiley face.) Rule number one. Don’t p*** a bitch off (smiley face.)’
The court heard Mr Aquilina was left feeling depressed and concerned about his personal safety.
Davies was arrested by police and said: ‘I didn’t know it was so serious. I just wanted revenge. I wanted to humiliate him a little bit.’
Mr Kendall said: ‘She said she got a little bit evil and thought ‘you’ve caused me harm so I’ll do the same to you’.’
The court heard the images were circulated ‘widely and publicly’. Cora Sorensen, defending, said Davies suffers with mental health problems.
She said: ‘She knew the enormity of what she did. She couldn’t withdraw. It had already gone on the public site at that stage.’
Davies pleaded guilty to disclosing private sexual photos without consent. Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke handed her a six-month suspended sentence.
She said: ‘There is no doubt whatsoever that your actions caused Mr Aquilina very serious distress.’
Davies was also given an 8pm to 6am curfew, must carry out 15 days rehabilitation activity and pay £380 costs. She was also put under a restraining order.
