Sending defendant, James Hackett, to begin his sentence for one offence of disclosing a private sexual image with intent to cause distress, Judge Rachael Harrison told him: “In my judgement, this was conduct intended to maximise humiliation and distress.” During a June 1, 2023 sentencing hearing, Sheffield Crown Court was read a statement from the complainant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, in which she detailed the devastating, and prolonged, impact his actions have had on her mental health, and her ability to work. Prosecuting barrister, Samuel Ponniah, told the court that the police became aware that Hackett, now aged 36, had shared ‘intimate’ images of the complainant on social media sites in August 2019, and he received a caution for his conduct. Mr Ponniah told the court that despite the warning Hackett was given through his police caution, he not only went on to continue to share intimate images of this complainant through a fake Facebook account months later, but he also uploaded sexual images of a second woman in similar circumstances. Hackett, of Southgate, Eckington, was sentenced for an identical offence against the second woman in October 2020, when he received a sentence of 18 weeks’ custody, suspended for 12 months. The defendant was less than three months into that suspended sentence, when he resumed sending sexual pictures of the first complainant, to people she knew, including a work colleague using a Facebook account in which he pretended to be the complainant by using her name and picture, the court heard. As she explained her reason for sentencing Hackett to 16 months’ custody, Judge Harrison told him that his actions had clearly resulted in ‘very significant pyschological harm’ being caused to the first complainant. “This was a prolonged course of action. It was planned and repeated…your victim gave you a chance to stop, you said would stop. You did not.”

Dressed in a grey tracksuit, domestic abuser, Nathan Green, remained silent as he was sent to begin a 49-month prison sentence for a string of violent offences carried out against the mother of his child, both before and after she ended their relationship. During a June 9 Sheffield Crown Court sentencing hearing, Judge David Dixon told Green: “You were in a relationship with a woman for some time. It sounds like it was a truly awful situation for her. It seems she tried to help you, and you rewarded that help by belittling her, by abusing her, and worse.” Relating to three attacks carried out against his former partner, Green, of Derwent Road, Rotherham was charged with, and pleaded guilty to, offences of inflicting grievous bodily harm, common assault and threatening with a bladed article in a private place at an earlier hearing.
