WOMAN WHO SENT REVENGE PORN TO EX'S MOTHER IN STALKING CAMPAIGN AVOIDS PRISON
A man whose mother received revenge porn images sent by his former girlfriend has criticized her sentencing, describing it as 'sexist' because she avoided jail time.Eve Yeoman, aged 24, pursued her ex for three months following their breakup, engaging in a stalking campaign that included making repeated phone calls and waiting outside his workplace and residence.
The situation escalated when Yeoman shared a sexually explicit image of her ex, which she had taken covertly during their relationship, to his mother.
Accompanying the image, she sent a message stating: 'This is what your son is like.
I hope him and all his family rot in hell.' However, this week she was sentenced to a restraining order instead of prison, prohibiting her from contacting her former partner.
The young man, also aged 24 and whose identity is protected, expressed his belief that she should have been incarcerated and accused the justice system of sexism for not imposing harsher penalties.
He said: 'I think her sentence is far too lenient.
When I saw the email from the police officer telling me, my first reaction was that it was an April Fools Joke.
'I feel if it was a man who had done all these things he would've most likely received at least two years in jail, which I was expecting to be the outcome of this case.
'This just outlines the justice system being sexist in my opinion.' He added that he doesn't know what else Yeoman is capable of, saying: 'I fear every day that something will happen.
My family and I do not feel safe at home anymore.' The victim said he felt 'violated' by the revenge porn images when he discovered what had happened.
He recalled: 'When I found out what she had done in regards to the revenge porn obviously I was very embarrassed and felt violated by it as I didn't even know she had taken those pictures in the first place.
'It caused me to withdraw a bit from family life due to the embarrassment for a few days and I felt isolated.
'Revenge porn can happen to anyone and it's something I never thought would happen to myself.' The victim additionally claims that Yeoman was responsible for throwing a corrosive substance on his car and his friend's vehicle.
His initial meeting with Yeoman took place on Bumble in 2022.
He described her as controlling and manipulative, and he said he managed to break away from her in the previous year after overcoming his reluctance.
He said: 'She was violent towards me, controlling and manipulative, with lies and dishonesty, but I was too scared to walk away.
'I plucked up the courage and finally did it, but I was being tormented for months after with other acts of violence and social media posts about me.
'At one point she vandalised mine and my friends cars at midnight, throwing food and corrosive substances all over the vehicles.
'I have countless no caller ID phone calls and she's normally sat at the side of the road on my way home from work and around the area I live, which is 20 miles from where she lives.
'She caused £2,500 worth of damage to my vehicle when she threw a bottle at it.
I was just coming home after doing an honest day's work and got targeted.
'It could of been a brick that she threw at my car and could have killed me.
'She was only fined £600, so that puts me £1,900 out of pocket to get it repaired which is extremely unfair on my behalf - especially as money is a bit tight at the moment due to all the goings on round the world.' Yeoman, of Lytchett Matravers, Dorset, admitted charges of sharing an intimate photo, stalking and criminal damage at Poole Magistrates' Court.
A district judge told her the only reason she was not sent to prison was because of the 25 days she served on remand, which would be the equivalent to an eight-to-ten week custodial sentence.
She was given a 12-month community order with 200 hours of unpaid work.
She must also pay her ex-partner £600 in compensation and a restraining order was imposed banning her from contacting him.
