According to the Telegraph, John Walker, 29, sent the victim's wife a video of her husband on a hotel bed wearing a pair of women's underwear as he took drugs and watched gay pornography.

Prosecutor David Lampitt said the two first made contact through a gay escort website where they made arrangements to meet for the sum of £1,800 ($2725.95).

The tryst took place in back in February as planned. Then the following morning, the victim received a text message which read: "Ring me or I will call your wife." He also emailed an explicit picture of their evening together.

Though the victim sent Walker £3,000 ($4542) as requested, he went ahead and sent the wife the video anyway, at which point the victim went to authorities.

Walker was sentenced to 32 months in jail.

"The complainant had been generous to you and that made you greedy," remarked Leeds Crown Court Recorder Mark McKone.
