Man on Vancouver Island Jailed for Posting Explicit Photos, Video of Woman
Judge Christina Proteau said the man posted explicit images over three weeks and the victim now suffers constant anxiety and panic attacks.
- On August 11, Judge Christina Proteau sentenced a man to six months in jail in Nanaimo for knowingly publishing and distributing intimate images of a former partner without permission.
- The man pleaded guilty after the victim reported threats to Nanaimo RCMP on June 20, 2023, regarding intimate content he had been previously entrusted with during their brief 2021 relationship.
- In July 2023, the victim discovered a fake Facebook profile under the name Don Johnson created by the man to distribute intimate videos to a public website over three weeks.
- Following incarceration, the man must serve 18 months of probation, maintain 50 metres distance from the victim, and provide a DNA sample; the victim suffers ongoing anxiety and panic attacks.
- Proteau noted the guilty plea mitigated the sentence by avoiding further trauma to the victim, while acknowledging the man's history of childhood abuse documented in his pre-sentence report.
