Ex-Boyfriend Sent 'Boob And Bum' Pics To Former Partner's Dad

A man sent half-naked sexually-explicit boob and bum pictures of his barmaid ex-girlfriend to her father during a post-break up dispute.

Betting shop worker Kevin Bolenge, 30, of Ludovick Walk, Barnes, sent close-up underwear snaps of her breasts and rear, which he had taken during their relationship.  

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.

“In an attempt to get the lady to contact you, you sent these images to her father,” Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court Judge Martin Barklem told him.

“You knew you had no right to do this and the fact you sent it to her father was a cowardly act of humiliating the lady, who was only wearing her underwear.”

Bolenge was sentenced to 11 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 12 months and ordered to complete up to 30 days rehab and up to 40 days of a domestic violence programme.

He must also pay £800 costs, a £115 victim surcharge and obey a five-year restraining order, prohibiting contact with both his former girlfriend and her father.

Prosecutor Alexander Williams told the court Bolenge had a two-year relationship with the woman, who blocked his abusive calls after they split-up.

“He asked her to send sexual pictures of her breasts to him, which she found upsetting and she received many calls from unknown numbers that she suspected was the defendant.

“Her father received photos that he recognised as his daughter , sexual pictures of her breasts and bottom that she had allowed to be taken during the relationship.”

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.’ 

The judge told Bolenge, who has a previous conviction for harassment: “There was a limited degree of remorse shown by you until pressed.”

He had initially fought the case, claiming the images were of another woman and not the man’s daughter.
