The victim uncovered the betrayal on 11 Aug 2024 when she accessed the defendant’s computer while he was in the shower.
A pop-up Telegram notification caught her attention, prompting her to open the app. Upon opening it, she found two archived chat groups dedicated to sharing female nudes and pornography.
To her shock, she discovered that her own intimate photos and videos had been uploaded by her fiancé without her consent.

Upon further investigation, the victim also found chat logs where the defendant had messaged other group members, discussing his sexual fantasies involving girlfriend swapping and threesomes.
When the defendant emerged from the shower, she immediately confronted him.
He admitted to distributing her intimate content, revealing that he had been doing so for around a month.
Despite his attempts to cover up his actions by leaving the groups, reporting them to Telegram, and deleting messages, the victim had already taken screenshots of the incriminating conversations and sent them to her own phone.
She later reported the incident to the police.
Defendant had been sharing nudes since early 2024
Investigations revealed that the defendant had first discovered the “nude-swapping” groups via Discord and had been exchanging explicit content with other members since early 2024.
In one group, which only had three members, he shared his fiancée’s nudes and participated in explicit chats.
He also admitted to sharing the victim’s intimate photos in Discord groups.
The victim, deeply shaken by the betrayal, ended her relationship with him in Aug 2024.
She described the emotional toll of his actions, including feelings of profound betrayal, humiliation, and panic attacks.
The trauma led her to seek professional therapy to cope with the distress.
Man pleads guilty to six of the charges
The defendant faced a total of 13 charges for the intentional distribution of intimate images or videos.
On Tuesday (28 April) morning, he pleaded guilty to six of the charges and was sentenced to 19 months in prison.
