A security worker who posted an explicit naked photograph of his ex-girlfriend on Facebook after their break up in a revenge porn attack has been spared jail. 

Alan Howard, 42, from Davenport, Stockport, uploaded the picture of his former partner to Facebook as well as sending her a version of the image.
He was spared jail but given a community punishment order after admitting publishing a private sexual photograph without the consent of the person who appeared in it.
The latter has only been a criminal offence since the new revenge porn laws were introduced in April. 
So far, around a dozen men have been convicted under the legislation in England.
