A STALKER who sent a woman’s mother revenge porn pictures of her daughter during a vendetta against his victim has been jailed.
Joel Everett, 28, from Pontypool, had his suspended prison sentence activated after he continued to contact her and started harassing her boyfriend.
Judge Richard Williams told him: “You intended to disrupt their relationship. You were spiteful, vengeful and malicious.”
Everett, of Festival Crescent, New Inn, was jailed for 20 months at Newport Crown Court.

When he was given his suspended sentence in January, Cardiff Crown Court heard how he sent her a sex toy and tipped rubbish from McDonald’s over her car.

The defendant would let her tyres down, bombard her with abusive messages and harass her outside work.
Tabitha Walker, prosecuting, said the victim felt “humiliation” after intimate sexual images of her were sent to her mother and a friend.
At the height of his feud, which lasted eight months, Everett sent her 100 e-mails a day.
He would also turn up outside her house and beep his horn.
Ms Walker said: “The victim said he has made her life a misery. She felt drained and he has caused her humiliation.”
The defendant pleaded guilty to stalking and disclosing private sexual images.
He later admitted harassment against the woman’s partner and breaching a restraining order imposed preventing him from contacting her.
These second offences put him in breach of his suspended jail sentence.
Hilary Roberts, mitigating, said his client was “remorseful” and had been held in custody since his arrest on May 31.
Outside the court, Detective Constable Jordan Williams said: “This was an extremely distressing case for the victim, which has had a huge, and long lasting, impact on them.
“It took great bravery and courage for the victim to come forward and I’m pleased to see Everett jailed as a result.
“We take all cases of this nature seriously, and will work tirelessly to see such offenders brought to justice.”
When he was sentenced at the start of the year, Judge David Wynn Morgan told Everett: “Over an eight-month period, you subjected the complainant to a campaign that was vindictive and cruel.
“You showed no restraint whatsoever in controlling your feelings.”
He added that the defendant’s behaviour had been “despicable”.
