A JILTED boyfriend uploaded a sex tape of himself and his ex-girlfriend to millions of viewers of a hard-core website while drowning his sorrows over the split, a court heard.

Paul Dickenson, previously from Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, is now facing jail for sharing footage of himself and his former partner with porn addicts who were allowed to “rate” the couple’s performance.

The victim said she felt “physically sick” when she realised her intimate moments were available on the world’s biggest internet porn site.

Dickenson, 36, and the woman agreed to film themselves having sex at the height of their long term relationship.

But when Dickenson was ditched he uploaded the footage to Pornhub in “a moment of drink-fuelled madness”, magistrates in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, were told.

Prosecutor Kathryn Reeve said: “She felt angry and upset. The video was uploaded to a very public site. She felt physically sick.

“He said he was drunk. But the next morning he said if she did not take the kids around to see him he would send the link to her Facebook friends.”

The court heard Dickenson uploaded the footage while sat in his flat. He was told by magistrates: “We consider the offence so serious it falls at the custody level.”

David Camidge, mitigating, said: “Due to a moment of drink-fuelled madness he now faces a very serious charge indeed.”

He underlined Dickenson had shown great remorse during his interview with police.

The case was adjourned until February 11 for pre-sentence reports after Dickenson, who now lives in a flat in Wheatfields Court, Eastfield, Scarborough, indicated a guilty plea.

He admitted an offence under the Revenge Porn legislation of disclosing a sexual film without the consent of the woman with intent to cause distress earlier this month.

Pornhub is said to be the single largest porn website on the internet.
