They did refuse and Fawcett followed through by posting the victim\u2019s home address and phone number on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Fawcett then created a profile on an online dating platform using her ex-partner\u2019s mother\u2019s photo and information.<\/p>\n

As a result, her ex lost all access to his online accounts<\/a> and became concerned about his family\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n

Fawcett pleaded guilty to the charges in September<\/a> and has since reconciled with her partner, who was present at sentencing.<\/p>\n

Judge Taryn Bayley said despite their reconciliation, her poor behaviour was unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fortunate you weren\u2019t charged with blackmail, given the threat that you made and the money you demanded,\u201d Judge Bayley said.<\/p>\n

Judge Bayley noted Fawcett had made comments to a pre-sentence report writer that she regretted her actions but also placed blame on the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour behaviour was unacceptable. It would have been very distressing for this certain victim with her details and her photograph on a dating site,\u201d Judge Bayley said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe factors that led to this happening was your inability to manage relationships in an appropriate way, mental health issues and you also have a sense of entitlement where you may believe your behaviour on this occasion was acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judge Bayley sentenced Fawcett to 12 months\u2019 supervision with a number of courses to complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter how difficult your personal circumstances are, that doesn\u2019t give you a licence to behave in causing harm to others,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to learn to moderate your behaviour and manage any conflicts in your family relationships in a more appropriate way.\u201d<\/p>\n
