“During the period of contact, the victim sent to the defendant a number of intimate and personal pictures and videos,” McNamara said.īut the victim had doubts over Glaudin’s true identity and ended their online-only contact in December 2017. The pair exchanged phone numbers, email addresses and even the victim’s CV as he was job hunting. John McNamara, prosecuting, told the court that in May 2017, Glaudin, using the pseudonym Steven St Pier, met her first male victim via Grindr.
He described her behaviour as “designed to cause maximum upset”. The judge, Silas Reid, said Glaudin was driven by revenge after her initial victim broke off contact. She was sentenced to 13 months in prison on Monday. Glaudin, who had evaded justice for more than a year after fleeing to her native France, admitted to her crimes. Police and Crimestoppers were contacted on multiple occasions over false claims, including of assault and paedophilia, against one man, while his friends were warned he had a “bounty on his head”.
