Young Mum Living In Fear

AN alleged Brisbane revenge porn victim has spoken out against her ex-boyfriend after racy pictures of her were plastered across dozens of X-rated websites, attracting a stream of strangers to knock on her door.

Robyn Night, 37, was forced to install security cameras at the home she shares with her husband and toddler after being accosted for four years by sex-hungry strangers who had seen her nude images.

Ms Night told Nine’s A Current Affair program that she had seen her pictures shared on 30-40 pornography websites, including sexually violent pages, from around the world.

“I was devastated to know that my photo was linked to these horrific websites,” she said.

Ms Night said her head was also superimposed onto the bodies of other naked women, and the tech-savvy crook impersonated her interacting with online admirers to coerce them into meeting her.

More than 50 unwelcome visitors followed the name and address that were published alongside the nude photos, believing they would score a hook-up.

Now, after years of trauma, police have arrested and charged her ex-boyfriend, whom she broke up with a decade ago, A Current Affair reported.

Ms Night said she felt humiliated when she found out and described feeling as though “through cyber, he raped me”.

Living in fear, Ms Night started to prepare for the worst by keeping a baseball bat ready.

“Whenever there was a knock at the door I physically felt sick, and still do,” she said.

Her husband River was under just as much distress.

“This person is sending people from pro-rape and bondage websites to rape and assault myself, my wife or my three-year-old,” he said.

Ms Night said she visited four police stations in her area in the last four years begging for help, but she was told nothing could be done.

“I had a conversation with one policeman over the phone who told me that basically unless I was physically touched or raped there was nothing they could do for me,” she said.

That’s when Ms Night decided to set up a surveillance system and chained the front gate.

She also put up signs alerting strangers who turned up at her house that they had been scammed. The signed warned they were being recorded and the police would be called if they knocked.

And despite all the safety measures, Ms Night’s quality of life continued to deteriorate, finding herself still too afraid to go on simple outings with her loved ones for fear she would be randomly approached.

Ms Night said she had been at a loss at who was out to harm her, knowing only that it had to be someone who knew her because they changed the maiden name attached to the pornographic pictures when she married, as well as the address when she moved.

“At some point you start to wonder who is your enemy and who is your friend,” she said.

Four weeks ago, she raised her case with Queensland’s police commissioner after yet another unwelcome knock at her door, A Current Affair reported.

Detectives sprung to action and within two weeks, she was horrified to find out they arrested and charged the man she had been in a relationship with 10 years ago.

Ms Night lived with her ex-boyfriend for two years before they split. They kept in touch on Facebook after breaking up. He will face court next month.
