Revenge is a dish best served behind bars

So this 20 year old Wellington dude was pretty upset at losing his girlfriend. He broke her cellphone, sent her death threat texts, stole and destroyed some of her clothing, and hacked into her Facebook account, changing her profile picture to a naked photo.

While this article doesn't give a breakdown of the prison sentences for each charge, he has been sent to jail for four months, part of which was for the photo.

He also changed her password on the account and changed her privacy settings so that the photo was available for the whole Facebook world to see.

I for one am rather glad to see this little asshole get what he deserves.

I'm also glad that the girl got her comeuppance for being stupid enough to put naked photos in the hands of a guy she'd only been going out with for five months, and hope that message is taken on board.

If you want naked photos of yourself, make sure you are in control of them. That lovely guy who treats you like a princess now could easily turn into a jealous, backstabbing child if you two part ways. While it's no excuse for him (or her) to distribute naked photos, you've willingly exposed yourself to the risk by letting someone else have such sensitive photographs.
