Woman charged with revenge porn by disclosing sexual images of female

Dungannon Court

A County Tyrone woman has appeared in court on multiple charges including revenge porn involving a female victim, who it is alleged was also harassed, assaulted and sent an indecent message.

Twenty-four-year-old Lucy Carolan (24) from Coolnafranky Park, Cookstown is accused of disclosing a private sexual photograph or film of the female for someone other than her to see and without her consent, with the intention of causing her distress.

In addition, Carolan is charged with pursuing a course of conduct amounting to the harassment of the female, assaulting her and misusing a public communications network by sending her an indecent message.

Offending is alleged to have occurred between September 5 and October 15, 2022.

A police officer familiar with the facts of the case told Dungannon Magistrates Court all charges could be connected.

No details surrounding the circumstances of the alleged offending were disclosed during the short hearing.

A defence lawyer requested an adjournment in order to consult fully with Carolan and take full instructions.

Deputy District Judge Sean O’Hare agreed to adjourn the case until next month, and in the meantime remanded Carolan on continuing bail.
