A man who sent half-naked pictures he took of his ex-girlfriend to her father during a post-break up dispute has eventually admitted his guilt.
Kevin Bolenge, 30, of Ludovick Walk, Barnes, sent close-up underwear snaps of her breasts and bum and had initially claimed they were of another woman.
He pleaded guilty to disclosing private sexual images of the woman, with intent to cause distress, between October 8 and 10, 2017.
Bolenge denied a second charge of racially-aggravated threatening, abusive words and behaviour and this was dropped by the prosecution.
Prosecutor Helen McCormack told Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court the pair had a relationship that was “tempestuous at times.”
“The defendant sent the pictures to her father and they were pictures of a sexual nature, clearly provocative, taken during the course of their relationship.
“This was because she was declining to keep in touch with him.”
Judge Martin Barklem bailed Bolenge until August 2 for sentencing, saying of the images: “She is always clothed. They are not indecent.
“An immediate custodial sentence is extremely unlikely.”
Ms McCormack said the prosecution will be applying for a restraining order against Bolenge, prohibiting him contacting both his ex and her father.
The racially aggravated charge that was dropped was in relation to alleged texts by Bolenge, which read: ‘Keep taking selfies with your Paki friend,’ and: ‘White slag.’
