A man who sent photos of his bloodied penis to his former partner has been convicted on revenge porn charges, after sending intimate photos of her to a different ex-girlfriend.
In what defence lawyer Cameron Smith described as a "love triangle", Caringbah resident Zane Alchin sent the explicit photo of his bloodied genitalia to his ex-girlfriend in November 2018.
He then sent intimate photographs he had of his former girlfriend to a different woman due to her lack of response.
The 28-year-old appeared in Sutherland Local Court via audio-visual link on Thursday, as his lawyer argued that the revenge porn was at the "low end of objective seriousness" as it was not distributed to the "community at large".
He also told the court how Alchin had held employment at Qantas for eight years before being "dismissed" for criminal matters which were later dismissed.
By sending the photo of his bloodied penis to the victim, along with dozens of other emails, Alchin breached an Apprehended Violence Order held against him which eventuated after he keyed the victim's car in February 2018.
In one of the emails, Alchin asked if he and his friend could "put her on the spit" (a sexual act) in exchange for money.
At the time, Alchin was also serving a community correction order, after assaulting the other ex-girlfriend in early 2018.
During the incident, Alchin cut up the woman's bras and underwear, destroyed her laptop, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, bedspread, two designer bracelets, among other personal items.
Alchin's father and grandmother sat in the courtroom, as magistrate Philip Stewart handed down the full-time custody sentence for the "safety of the community".
He was convicted to seven months imprisonment, with a non-parole period of four months for contravening the AVO, and seven months imprisonment, with a non-parole period of three months for sharing the intimate photos without the consent of his ex-girlfriend.
Alchin, who has been in custody since December 31, will serve the sentences concurrently, and is due to be released on April 30.
Alchin previously made headlines after he was convicted in 2016 for harassing multiple women over Tinder.
