Woman left mortified after angry man posted topless picture of her on Facebook A MAN who posted a topless picture of a woman onto Facebook has narrowly avoided being sent to prison after causing his victim significant embarrassment and distress. Simon Bell bombarded the woman with emails while threatening to publish the picture just days after his father had died. The 57-year-old subsequently published the photograph in the early hours of the morning while under the influence of drink, Teesside Crown Court heard. Paul Abrahams, prosecuting, said the defendant sent more than 40 emails to his victim over a two-day period, some threatening to post the image onto the social media site and then another telling her he had posted the topless image.
