A young man who threatened to publish intimate pictures of a girl he met on Snapchat has received a suspended jail sentence. The 24-year-old appeared at Donegal Circuit Court having pleaded guilty to threatening to publish intimate pictures of a person intending to cause them harm. The young man's victim was a then 17-year-old girl from Co Donegal whom he had befriended on Snapchat. The man said he was into photography and asked the girl to send him pictures of herself. The girl said the man also sent pictures of his penis to her but she said she didn't open the message while he also sent her videos of himself.
