A man accused of
publishing sexually explicit images of his ex-girlfriend on facebook
six months after they split-up has appeared in court.Michael Howard-Harrington, 30, of Kingshill Avenue, Hayes, Hillingdon took the pictures on his phone while they were dating.
He was bailed by Uxbridge Magistrates Court to appear at Isleworth Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on September 9.
Howard-Harrington is charged with one count of disclosing private sexual photographs, with intent to cause distress, and without consent on or about April 13.
Prosecutor Miss Jane Ndedi told the court the couple were in a relationship between july and October last year and during that time the complainant allowed the defendant to take intimate images of her in sexually compromising situations.
They separated and she asked him to delete the images from his phone and he assured her he had done so.
Without reason he posted nine images on his facebook account and added a message.
The court heard the images are very intimate and show the complainant's face, breasts, vagina, and in one she is lying naked while smoking a cigarette.
When Howard-Harrington was arrested his computer and phone were seized by police, but he denied offence, claiming his computer had been hacked.
