When Charley Bailey's son was born those precious, first hours were tarnished because he resembled the serial cheat who traumatised her.
Mum-to-be Charley Bailey shuddered with anger, fear and shame when a pal showed her a Facebook video that left nothing to the imagination.
The seven-minute film showed Charley and her ex having sex when she was five months pregnant .
Vile Thomas Ormsby, 19, had posted it in revenge for Charley dumping him because he was a serial cheat.
The clip plunged Charley’s life into disarray. Instead of enjoying the final three months of pregnancy she was left feeling she no longer wanted the baby.
And when little Lucas was born those precious, first hours were tarnished because he resembled Ormsby – and Charley’s mind was instantly filled with resentment at what he had done.
By then, Ormsby had become one of the first men in Britain to be jailed under revenge porn laws.
Now, speaking for the first time since the traumatic cyber sex attack, 19-year-old Charley said: “He was jailed but I am the one left dealing with this. It has had a huge impact on me.
“When I saw the video I felt sick, totally degraded.
“I was carrying this man’s baby. How could he have done that to someone who has his child inside them?
“The shame and embarrassment was so much that I wanted to kill myself and my mum had to talk me out of getting rid of my baby.
“When Lucas was born I couldn’t even pick him up for the first couple of hours because he looked like Thomas.
“But when I held him I fell in love with him and felt so guilty for ever thinking about terminating my pregnancy.
“Lucas is my whole world now but I have to speak out about what his father did to warn others.”
Charley has bravely waived her right to anonymity to encourage other victims of so-called revenge porn to report cases to the police.
The traumatising crime is legally defined as the sharing of private, often sexual or explicit, photos or videos of another person with the purpose of causing embarrassment or distress.
It was made a specific crime following a series of high-profile cases that raised awareness of the issue.
In 2012, pop star and former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, 28, won a High Court injunction to halt the online distribution of a tape featuring her and former lover Justin Edwards.
The crime carries a jail term of up to two years and a fine and there were over 1,000 reported cases in the UK last year.
But a recent report revealed that six in 10 cases reported to police result in no criminal action.
Charley said: “Women have to stand up to this kind of thing or it will carry on.”
