A pervert who made revenge porn threats to a Hackney woman he met on a dating site has been jailed for harrassment.
Brett O’Leary, 44, offered the woman “a large sum of money” to sleep with him after
luring her to his home in Hermitage Close in Clare, Suffolk, after making contact online through the dating agency last July.
He then filmed himself having sex with the victim and took pictures of her when she was naked during the incident in July last year.
O’Leary then asked the victim to meet him again, and threatened to post the video footage and photographs online if she refused.
