PIC SHAME Model posted 'revenge porn' photos of woman having sex on Instagram and branded her a 'tramp' – but is spared jail A MODEL posted "revenge porn" photos of a woman having sex and branded her a "tramp" - but has been spared jail.

Despite leaving the victim feeling like she had been "stripped of her dignity", Billman managed to swerve a jail sentence. She was instead handed a 20 week sentence, suspended for 12 months, after she was found guilty of disclosing private sexual images without consent. Cambridge Magistrates' Court heard the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was left anxious over the images. Advertisement Prosecutor James Quelch also said the ordeal in June 2023 had "affected the victim's day-to-day activities" and made her "scared" of the potential consequences. In her own harrowing statement, the woman said: "I felt like I had been stripped of my dignity… my anxiety has increased, I am constantly thinking that people who know me have seen the images. "I am worried there will be repercussions for my family and child. In her posts there were also images of my child. "I am constantly worried about the images surfacing." Advertisement Rachel Buck, mitigating, said her client was of "good character" and had been "ostracised" by her family for supporting her partner, Joey Baptiste, during his own court ordeal. Baptiste, 41, was spared jail in 2021 after admitting a charge of coercive control against an ex. He also caused the woman physical harm by dragging her out of a bed and throwing her against a wall. On another occasion, he smashed her head against a car dashboard, the court heard. Advertisement Billman had begged the judge to let Baptiste walk free as she was heavily pregnant with his twins at the time. The thug later found himself back in court after crashing Dragon Den star Ross Mendham's £100k Ferrari. He accompanied Billman to her sentencing hearing but the pair did not comment as they left the building. 6 Billman accompanied the images with a string of slurs Credit: Instagram Advertisement 6 She received a suspended sentence 6 Billman was accompanied to court by her thug partner Credit: SWNS

Man, 47, is charged with murder of missing woman who is feared dead

A man has been charged with the murder of a missing woman who is feared dead as police search for her body. Julie Buckley, 54, from the village of Christchurch in Cambridgeshire, has not been seen since late January. Cambridgeshire Police said officers 'have always aimed to find her alive, but evidence suggests she has come to serious harm'. Police declared the case a no-body murder investigation on Friday. The force said on Sunday that 47-year-old Karl Hutchings, of Christchurch, has been charged with her murder. Detective Inspector Richard Stott said police have been trying to piece together Ms Buckley's movements before she disappeared. He appealed for anyone who has seen her in the past few weeks to get in touch. 'We know she has links to places in the surrounding area including March, Manea and Chatteris so I would urge people who live in those areas to consider if they have information that could be of use to our inquiry,' he said. 'We are in touch with family of Julie and specially trained officers are keeping them up to date on the police inquiry at this very difficult time.' Hutchings is due to appear before Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Monday. Anyone with information is asked to contact the investigation team via the dedicated online portal: Anyone without internet access is asked to call 101 and quote Operation Dragonfish.
