A city worker who uploaded photos of a colleague from her social media account to an adult website has been convicted of harassment and jailed for 16 weeks. Davide Buccheri carried out an 8-month campaign of harassment after a female colleague declined an offer of a date with him. Buccheri created a gallery of the victim alongside edited pornographic pictures of other women of a similar build and then uploaded them to the site. This gave the impression the victim and the images of the models were the same person. He then alerted management to the photos on the site in an attempt to get her into trouble. Buccheri was convicted of harassment, he was jailed for 16 weeks and ordered to pay £5,000 in compensation to his victim.
