When Schneider, who was high on ice at the time, saw the other woman laughing, she grabbed her phone and fled.

“My client, enraged, having caught her partner cheating on her … and with clouded judgment from the methamphetamine use saw the victim’s handbag,” Mr Press told the court.

“In regrettable, spur of the moment action (she) took the mobile phone.”

Schneider went through the phone and found pictures and videos of the woman engaged in sex acts.

The spurned woman then shared the material with her boyfriend.

Schneider pleaded guilty to theft and distributing invasive images.

Mr Press said she felt “extreme guilt” about what she had done and that she had turned her life around by finding work and kicking her meth habit.

Magistrate Teresa Anderson said Schneider should have taken out her anger on her boyfriend.

“Your rage really should have been at your partner, he was the one that was cheating on you,” she said.

Schneider was handed a $1000, 12-month good behaviour bond.
