A FURIOUS man admitted assault and criminal damage after discovering photographs of his private parts on Facebook.
Graham Steven Dry, 20, was furious when he discovered the snaps on the internet and blamed his ex-girlfriend Emma Ashley.
The couple had split the previous day and when Dry turned on his computer he found photographs of his private parts, which must have been taken when he was asleep, a court heard yesterday.
He went around to her home in Saltney Ferry and caused £700 worth of damage by kicking her front door.
Dry, of Hereford Place in Blacon, Chester, found her at a neighbour's home and assaulted her by forcing her back with his forehead.
Before leaving, he also smashed her mobile phone.
Dry admitted assault and two damage charges when he appeared at Flintshire Magistrates Court in Mold.
In the circumstances he was given a 12 month conditional discharge for the assault.
He was fined £75 on each of the two damage charges with costs of £100 and compensation of £830 – making a total court bill of £1,080.
Howard Jones, defending, told the court: “It appeared that images of his private parts were placed on Facebook by his partner at the time.
“They had an on-off relationship but had split up the previous day.
“He found that photographs of his private parts which had been taken when he was asleep were placed on Facebook.
“My client contacted the police but they did not do anything about it. Understandably he was angry at what had happened.”
The court heard Dry was extremely frustrated, he wanted the photographs removed and went to his ex-girlfriend’s home where he caused the damage, but the court was told the assault did not involve any kicks or punches.
He pushed his ex-girlfriend back with his forehead which was an assault but which did not result in any visible injuries.
Since the incident the couple had got back together and she had withdrawn her complaint, but they were not together at the present time and he did not wish to see her again.
The court heard how the incident happened on Saturday, September 3 when Dry went to her home in Saltney Ferry following arguments about the photographs which had been placed on Facebook.
They had split up the previous day, explained Justin Espie, prosecuting.
Dry sent her a number of text messages telling her to remove the photographs or she would not receive the mobile phone back.
He said he was “on the way up” and told her to “take that picture off” or he would “smash her door in”.
When he got there she had left so he kicked the UPVC door causing damage valued at £700.
He found her at a neighbour's home, was verbally abusive to her and assaulted her by pushing her back with his head.
She went back into the house, heard a smashing noise, and found her mobile phone, valued at £130, had been broken.
Dry accepted what he had done when he was interviewed by the police.
