Woman Poses as A Man on Grindr Jailed for Stalking

A woman has been jailed for posing as a man via popular gay dating app grindr, whilst sharing sexual photos and videos of a man she met online during a "disturbuing campaign of harrassment".

According to the Guardian, Yannick Glaudin, stalked the man and his then boyfriend, sending their families, friends and colleagues the intimate pictures and films using a number of fake identities.

Glaudin, who had evaded justice for more than a year after fleeing to her native France, admitted to her crimes. She was sentenced to 13 months in prison on Monday.

The judge, Silas Reid, said Glaudin was driven by revenge after her initial victim broke off contact. He described her behaviour as “designed to cause maximum upset”.

Glaudin, who has no previous convictions, was sentenced to 12 months for a charge of disclosing private sexual photos and films with intent to cause distress, four months for one count of harassment without violence and four months for one of stalking without fear, alarm or distress.
