Convent-Educated Accountant Published Love-Rival's Naked Shower Pic Online

Video: Dobla
A jealous convent-educated accountant posed as a male model admirer to trick her love-rival in sending a naked shower video, which she then published on Instagram, court heard yesterday.

Blerina Dobla, 26, of Melliss Avenue, Richmond-upon-Thames published the video, plus more semi-nude pics of the young woman, tagging in friends and family of the victim.

She pleaded guilty at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court to sending a communication of an indecent or offensive nature on January 30, 2017, namely an Instagram video of the victim naked in the shower.

Dobla also admitted a similar charge of sending the same shower video to victims’ friends and family via Instagram on November 1, 2017, plus additional images of the young woman in various states of undress.

The court heard Dobla’s ex-boyfriend began dating the victim, who she contacted online under a false identity, and persuaded her to send the images.

The victim believed because she used Snapchat the material would be only visible for a few seconds and could not be saved by the recipient.

Prosecutor Mr Chidi Ikwuakolam told the court: “Twice in 2017 Ms Dobla tagged the complainant in a series of posts.

“Ms Dobla had been in a relationship with a male that ceased and he then entered into a relationship with the complainant.

“Ms Dobla formulated several social media accounts and contacted the complainant under the alias of a male.

“The contact between them continued and Ms Dobla persuaded the complainant to send videos and photos of a sexual nature of herself on a number of occasions.

“This was via Snapchat and the complainant thought they would be deleted automatically, but they were retained.

Dobla: Guilty Plea
“At 11.30am on January 30 a video was posted on Instagram that tagged the complainant. It was the victim naked in the shower.”

On November 1 the complainant received a call from a friend that an Instagram account tagging her family and friends contained photos of her undressed.

“However, by the time she was alerted to the second post she was unable to view the material,” added Mr. Ikwuakolam.

Dobla, who lives in a £1.2m house, was traced by police and arrested at work in February, last year and her phone was seized by officers who were also able to investigate her online history.

“She was questioned and denied the offences.”  

Magistrate Pamela Donovan told the first-time offender: “We are not excluding committal for sentence to the Crown Court or any sentencing options, including custody.”  

Dobla, who attended the Catholic Gumley House Convent School - moto ‘Vive Ut Vivas’ (live that you may live) - founded in 1841 was bailed to return for sentencing on June 28.
