Husband stands after naked photos put online by vengeful daughters

The husband of a former cop at the centre of a sex photos revenge storm has forgiven her and said they're 'planning their future together', MailOnline can reveal.

Eleanor Brown, 24, is starting a three year jail term after taking humiliating revenge against the woman for having an affair with her dad, a former firearms officer.

Two families were torn apart when Geoff Brown began a passionate fling with the woman over 12 years ago.

Both Mr Brown and wife Sarah were serving officers at the time.

The affair ended and they thought it had been buried by time - but it came back to haunt them in 2022 when Eleanor Brown came into possession of sexual images and videos they had shared.

She used the photos to shame her dad's ex mistress. Setting up a fake sex worker ad title: 'Kinky Copper.'

The number of the woman's husband was included in the ad leading to 14 texts and eight calls from prospective clients in the space of half an hour of it being posted. 

Despite the nightmare of having the affair brought back into the public gaze, the former mistress and her husband are still together.

A friend said: 'He has forgiven her and they're planning their future lives together.

The husband told Mailonline: 'We don't want to discuss this, we really want to put the whole thing behind us.'

In a victim statement, the former mistress - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - told of her devastation.

She said: 'If you have ever felt so upset you are constantly nauseous and anxious you will know how I felt. 

'I still recall the moment my husband told me what she had done, the look of panic and upset on his face as he revealed the extent of her actions.

'I was unable to stop the nightmare of my intimate pictures being shared with anyone and everyone.

'They were my pictures and she shared them with unnamed people for their sexual gratification.

'My pictures being used by strangers sickened me and I find it hard to believe that one woman would do this to another woman. To say I felt violated is an understatement.

'The thought of her control over me causes me anxiety and the hate she harboured for me over the years is very evident.'

A court heard yesterday that Eleanor Brown had known of the affair since she was a child and over the years had turned her father's lover - who she never met - into a 'caricature'.

Harry Crowson, mitigating, said the Brown family did not discuss Geoff's infidelity with her or try to support her. Instead, he said, she was 'shouted down and lied to.'

The simmering resentment over the torrid fling exploded back into life when Sarah Brown discovered the mistress's husband had set up a new business, advertising on Facebook.

The court heard that she pointed out the post on Facebook and also sent her the sexual images.

Egged on by her mother and sister Sophie, who played a part in the planning, Eleanor Brown began bombarding the business page with messages.

Sophie, 26, has since been sacked by West Yorkshire Police where she was a patrol officer. 

Prosecutor Lucy Brown said: 'The business was doing well and gaining positive reviews but on August 27th 2022 Eleanor Brown posted a message on the profile calling his wife a home-wrecking s**g and a tramp.'

She later messaged him on WhatsApp and sent him the listing on the Beaver Street sex site.

She even sent him a link to the Celine Dion song 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now,' a reference to his wife's affair.

Ms Brown said: 'In desperation the husband tried to contact Geoff Brown, which given the background he had no particular desire to do.

'He tried calling and texted Mr Brown, who was on holiday abroad with his wife at the time.

'Eleanor Brown was made aware of the contact in a number of WhatsApp messages from Sarah Brown.'

It had no effect on Eleanor Brown and she next decided to contact the couple's daughter.

Lucy Brown told the court: 'In that message Eleanor Brown said 'I will make sure your mum is never allowed to forget what she did to my family and wherever she goes her photos will remain and follow her.''

Judge Alex Menary did not diminish the role of former police officer Sarah Brown in the case, who was sacked in a police disciplinary hearing by West Yorkshire Police in April.

Judge Menary said: 'You conspired with your sister and mother to create the Beaver Street advert.'

He also acknowledged Sarah Brown sent Eleanor the sexual images, saying: 'There is clear evidence she wanted you to use them in some way.'

Mr Crowson, for Brown, said: 'She discovered the affair and rather than being supported and nurtured she was shouted down and lied to.

'Over the years (the mistress) existed in a bubble and she became almost a caricature, someone she knew nothing of other than that which she was told.

'She became a warrior in a war she ought not to have even been fighting.'

He said she acted on her trauma whilst drinking, adding: 'She was egged on by two family members who were a police officer and a former police officer and yet she sits in the dock alone.' 

Brown had originally denied two counts of disclosing private sexual imagery, but changed her plea to guilty halfway through her trial last month.

Judge Menary gave her no credit for her guilty pleas because she indulged in the 'ultimate act of brinkmanship' by forcing her victims to give evidence.

He said: 'You maximised their humiliation by forcing them to come to court to give evidence in front of a room full of strangers and the public gallery.'

Judge Menary said: 'One of the most egregious and vindictive aspects of this case is that you took the time to draft a lengthy and vitriolic message to their daughter. You sought to drag her into your unhappy existence which was shameful.'

Her actions led the couple to disclose the woman's affair for the first time. He jailed her for three years, saying she'd shown a 'staggering' lack of remorse and and exhibited 'vindictive, selfish and vengeful behaviour'.

He said: 'You were arrested and interviewed and were utterly unapologetic. The lack of remorse you showed was staggering. Acting in the way you have is totally devoid of any moral compass whatsoever.'
