YOUNG women had their innocent pictures posted on porn sites, leaving them “disgusted, physically sick and violated”.

Oliver Whiting, known as Olly, admitted posting pictures of Facebook friends without their permission.

Unemployed Whiting, 36, took innocent pictures from two women’s social media accounts and placed them on a porn site for trolls to leave explicit messages and images.

Next to a picture of one woman he knew, a former restaurant manager, Whiting wrote offensive comments.

Hastings Magistrates’ Court heard one photograph he uploaded to an x-rated website featured the woman’s young child.

Prosecutor Rebecca Green said the woman asked the US-based site to remove her image but got no reply.

In a victim impact statement the woman said: “I felt alone and that no one would help me.”

The court heard Whiting left a second young woman “speechless and shocked” after she discovered he had posted a picture of her next to offensive comments he had written.

Ms Green said the victim felt “disgusted, physically sick and violated” after learning he had described her using insulting words and invited users to leave humiliating comments.

Whiting, of Langdale Close, Eastbourne, pleaded guilty to 11 offences of making offensive postings, contrary to Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.

As Whiting sat head bowed in the dock Noelle Magennis, defending, said the offences took place during a dark period in his life when he struggled to cope at work.

She said: “He is disgusted with himself.

“He doesn’t leave the house and his friends have disowned him. The only explanation is that he was drinking excessively.

“He never in a million years thought the girls would see these comments.”

District judge Teresa Szagun bailed Whiting and adjourned sentencing to April 4 pending a pre-sentence report.

Whiting had been given a police caution after a previous instance of revenge porn against other women.

His victims complained that he had been let off with a slap on the wrist and police charged him with further new offences.

Outside court, one of Whiting’s previous victims, Charlotte White, 24, from Eastbourne, said: “He makes me feel sick, particularly as I considered him a family friend.

“We would go out for lunch together. I didn’t think he was like that.”

Eastbourne MP Caroline Ansell expressed her concern to the local police commander about the decision to issue a caution.

After his re-arrest Whiting’s computer was seized and he was bailed by police at which point the new offences were discovered.

Speaking after Whiting’s re-arrest Superintendent Nick May said: “I fully understand the concern and upset it has caused, and apologise for this, especially to the young women involved.”

Standing by the original decision to caution Whiting, Supt May said the force had learnt from this case.

He added: “We understand that such offences make victims feel very vulnerable so making a decision like this isn’t easy.”
