A judge has granted court protection to a woman whose ex-partner is threatening to post intimate videos and photos of her on Facebook. At the family law court in Ennis, Judge Patrick Durcan granted the woman a two-year safety order against the man. In a statement to the court, the woman stated the man is constantly sending her text messages and ringing her. She stated the man is blackmailing her “and has intimate photos and videos of me and is threatening to put them up on Facebook”. The man was not in court to contest the application for the safety order and Judge Durcan granted the safety order for two years.
