A Manitoba man has been sentenced to nine months in jail after uploading intimate photos of his ex-girlfriend to Twitter in an act of revenge. He followed up by posting about 15 photos to his hundreds of Twitter followers and also directly to her. It was only then that he asked to delete the photos, which police allowed him to do, Heinrichs said. While the victim didn't submit an impact statement to court, the harm from the crime "can be both perpetual and personal," Heinrichs said. "His tweet was sent to hundreds of people he knew and had ready access via his Twitter account."
