The ex-wife of an NRL star has been charged with distributing revenge porn after she allegedly recorded explicit photos and videos of the player and his new girlfriend having sex before sending them to at least one person, a court heard.
The woman was allegedly alerted to the explicit material by a friend of her son’s in October after they discovered the content while playing games on the family iPad.
The explicit videos were recorded on the NRL player’s device, but were inadvertently uploaded to a cloud account shared with his ex-wife when they were married.
The woman faced a Sydney court this week, where the court heard she was furious over the pornographic material and contacted her ex-husband to complain about the “disgusting” content, as their children used the iPad.
The woman, her NRL husband and her new partner cannot be identified due to new laws protecting alleged victims of revenge pornography.

He then allegedly threatened the soccer player, who has represented his country on the NRL world stage, to send the videos and images. reported the Daily Telegraph.
The court heard that the woman “intentionally” sent a snippet of the video to another person on October 17 after allegedly recording videos and images of the player and his new girlfriend having sex.
Her ex-husband then filed a complaint with the police, who executed a search warrant at the woman’s home on October 21.
The court heard that detectives went through the devices at his home and found that he had allegedly sent a message to a third party with an “excerpt” of the content.
Officials allege that she also distributed an image of her ex-husband and his new partner on October 17.
The woman faces one count of intentionally distributing an intimate image without consent and one count of intentionally recording an intimate image without consent.
Prosecutors dropped a single content distribution charge at a court hearing in November; however, he still faces up to three years in prison and an $11,000 fine for the remaining two charges.
She pleaded not guilty.
The woman will argue in court that she only sent a text message with part of the explicit material to the father of the child who discovered the photos and videos to try to explain the situation.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the woman’s lawyer, Christopher Cole, for comment.
