In April 2012, the report states, her social media accounts were hacked and nasty messages sent to her contacts and she received threatening text messages.

Then, in November, insulting graffiti appeared outside her place of work and she started getting dirty phone calls when her name and number where put in adult advertisements.

Eventually, after falling into depression, she was forced to move house and change her phone numbers to escape the misery of the couple’s revenge, the prosecution stated.
