<p>A jilted boyfriend set up a bogus lesbian dating profile to take revenge on his ex-fiancée after she dumped him. Craig Steel, 53, posted revealing photos of the woman on the website &#8211; falsely claiming she was gay and seeking a relationship.<br />
His victim &#8211; who cannot be named for legal reasons &#8211; was Hungarian and the couple had met on a different internet dating site.<br />
They enjoyed several holidays abroad together and Birmingham Magistrates&#8217; Court today heard Steel, of Selly Oak, eventually proposed during one trip to Tenerife.<br />
He then paid for her to come to the UK last May where they shared a rented flat.<br />
The prosecutor, said: &#8220;Everything was fine for the first month but after that the defendant became angry towards her because she was still using the dating site.<br />
“This caused arguments between them and the complainant agreed to delete her account.<br />
“Despite that he became more controlling and jealous and she found out he was a secret drinker, finding stashes of alcohol around the house.”<br />
The court was also told the girlfriend started work as a chiropodist and massage therapist and her daughter later came to live with the couple in Birmingham &#8211; which became a source of friction.<br />
She eventually left Steel and changed her mobile, although he managed to find out her new number and sent texts and messages.<br />
Then in January, the court heard, she began to receive “unusual” messages &#8211; and received a call from another woman who claimed her profile featured on a lesbian dating site.<br />
It included revealing pictures of her dressed in her underwear &#8211; photos Steel had taken when they were still a couple.Miss Greaves said Steel was later interviewed by police and added: “He accepted he set up the profile after she left him and that he had done it out of spite.”<br />
Steel was sentenced to a 12 month community order and ordered to pay £100 compensation after previously admitting harassment.<br />
District Judge Rebecca Crane also granted a restraining order, banning Steel from contacting the victim or going to her address.<br />
She said: “I give you credit for your guilty plea but this was controlling, jealous and abusive behaviour for which there is no excuse.”<br />
The defense pled mitigating circumstances stating that the victim &#8220;had been in difficult circumstances&#8221; and their client helped her out.<br />
&#8220;He paid for a nice holiday and he paid for her to leave Hungary and set up a home for her.<br />
“She then set up what he believes to be some sort of massage parlour within the home.<br />
“Following an argument he returned home and everything had been taken, even food from the fridge.<br />
“In anger his response was to set up the website.”<br />
She said the photos used had been taken from the victim’s own Facebook site and were not of a “pornographic” nature.</p>
