A bitter ex sent 'revenge porn' depicting himself and his former girlfriend having sex to her new man via Facebook, accompanied by a flurry of insults.
Apprentice plumber Oliver Thomas Robinson, 20, believes Hannah Kermally cheated on him with her new boyfriend before they split.
Yesterday he told Croydon Magistrates Court: "I think it was the silliest thing I've ever done. I truly regret it."
Robinson, of Hatfield Mead, Morden, pleaded guilty to disclosing private sexual photographs, with intent to cause distress, on October 13.
Prosecutor Miss Caroline Mungal explained: "This is a revenge porn case. The victim was in a relationship with Robinson since January this year.
"In May Robinson filmed them engaged in sexual activity with her consent and at her request he agreed, a few days later, to delete it from his mobile phone.
"In August the relationship ended on good terms and a few days later she received a WhatsApp message from Robinson, which included the footage.
"She believes he was taunting her and he threatened to send it to other people.
"On October the thirteenth she was with her new partner at his home when he received a Facebook message from Robinson.
"The message included two screen shots from the video showing her engaging in oral sex with Robinson.
"He also sent messages including: 'Dirty Slut'; 'I'm gonna ruin her'; She cheated on me with you'; 'Tramp' and 'Dirty cheating c****.'
"She was upset immensely that Robinson sent a private message to her new partner."
Robinson's lawyer Mr. Nicholas Robinshaw told the court: "He deeply regrets and is disappointed by his behaviour. It was in the heat of the moment after he felt cheated on.
"It became clear she had been cheating on him and Miss Kermally's new boyfriend was taunting him about that on Facebook and it was a spontaneous, idiotic reaction."
Robinson was placed on an eighteen month community order, which includes a 'building better relationships programme' and a rehabilitation requirement.
He was made subject to an indefinite restraining order, prohibiting contact with Miss Kermally, and was ordered to pay £85 costs, with a £60 victim surcharge and a £180 court charge.
