Nassau-A bitter man who stole his former girlfriend’s identity and uploaded her naked pictures online has been jailed for nine months.
Malik Wright began his campaign of harassment after he destroyed Devanique Dean’s iPhone 7, worth $399, during a row on May 9.
Then, Wright hacked her social media accounts and iCloud Drive and posted her stolen nude photos on the internet.
She later realised that the tattoo artist had ordered items valued at $1,160 from Amazon with her debit card.
Those unauthorised purchases included a mini-fridge, tattoo equipment and sneakers, the court heard.
Dean reported the matter to police. Although he denied responsibility, police found Dean’s personal information stored on Wright’s phone and computers.
Wright, 27, of Baldwin Avenue, Chippingham, pleaded guilty to charges of causing damage, fraud by false pretenses and unauthorized access to computer material at his arraignment before Magistrate Samuel McKinney.
The former couple have a son. Prosecutors did not disclose the reason for the bust-up that lead to the act of revenge porn.
In jailing Wright for nine months, McKinney said he could not encourage his vile behaviour by giving him a “slap on the wrist.”
McKinney imposed concurrent prison sentences of nine months on each count.
What’s more, Wright will serve an extra nine months in prison if he doesn’t pay Dean $1,559 in compensation.
The sum represents the cost of the phone and the value of the fraudulent purchases.
Before becoming a convicted criminal, Wright worked as costume designer for Roots Junkanoo group and operated his own tattoo parlour.
