Wakefield pervert jailed for posting 'free porn' footage on Snapchat after sex encounter
A pervert who posted footage he took of a sexual encounter with two females has been jailed.
Thomas Purviss loaded the camera footage onto Snapchat with a tagline of “free porn”, much to the horror of the victims.
The 33-year-old appeared at Leeds Crown Court where he admitted two counts of sharing intimate films for sexual gratification.
Purviss had been out drinking in June last year, and invited two females back to his home.
While they engaged in sexual activity with Purviss, he filmed them, despite them telling him to stop and trying to grab his phone.
He reassured them he would not disclose the footage, but later the next day the victims began to receive messages from friends telling them eight clips had been uploaded to Snapchat.
Purviss had written: “Free porn for whoever is on my Snapchat.”
He later agreed to take the them down and asked the victims not to contact the police.
Purviss, who lives c/o Esther Grove, Lupset, was arrested and interviewed where he gave a prepared statement, claiming he had accidentally shared the footage.
Prosecutor Zanisha Herbert said the females had suffered as a result, with both becoming withdrawn socially and were left feeling humiliated, violated and filled with shame.
Mitigating, Andrew Pettison said Purviss did not pursue his initial claim that he had accidently posted the videos.
The court heard he had no previous convictions.
Judge Simon Phillips KC jailed him for 18 months. He also put him on the sex offender register for 10 years.
