A man whose girlfriend leapt to her death after he threatened her with revenge porn may face a manslaughter charge, a court in England has heard.
Alessio Bianchi, 26, told Damilya Jossipalenya, 24, he would send an X-rated clip to her relatives days before she committed suicide.
Bianchi had already sent a picture or clip of Jossipalenya performing a sex act on him in a phone booth to a friend, who had in turn shared it with others, The Sun reports.
After he shared that clip he assaulted Ms Jossipalenya and told her, “I am going to keep destroying you”. The assault and threat occurred the day before she died.
Bianchi avoided jail in April after he admitted disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress and one count of assault by beating.
Instead, he received a 12-week suspended jail term for his actions.
At Westminster’s Coroner’s Court last week, Magistrate Timothy Rose said: “A week after the photographs were disclosed to his friend the complainant, who he knew to be vulnerable, killed herself.”
However, the barrister for Bianchi, Steven Powles said: “It cannot be said that the defendant’s actions caused the suicide only that he knew his actions related to a vulnerable woman.
“The image showed the complainant performing oral sex in a telephone kiosk. The defendant then gave the image or short film to his friend and it was then passed back to the complainant and a friend of hers.”
Prosecutor Carly Loftus said, describing an earlier incident: ‘The complainant in this case has been assaulted. He spat at her in her face and then punched her. She said that she felt as though she were going to pass out.”
Bianchi was caught on CCTV being violent with Damilya the day before he died, but, when questioned about his actions, he claimed he was just stopping her from committing suicide.
