A ‘selfish and vengeful’ daughter who set out to humiliate her father’s former mistress has been jailed for three years after the police officer’s affair ripped their families apart.
Eleanor Brown, 24 – aided by her mother and sister, who were also a serving and former police officer – broadcast intimate sexual images and videos of her dad Geoff’s former lover.
The affair between retired cop Geoff Brown, 61, and the woman had devastating consequences after it came back to haunt them 12 years after it ended.
Geoff’s wife Sarah, 57, still held a burning resentment for the woman who almost destroyed her marriage and in 2022 she sent sexual images of the mistress to her daughter.
Eleanor Brown then began bombarding the woman’s husband with the photographs and also set up a profile on a sex for sale site called Beaver Street.
The advert offered sexual services and included pictures of the mistress.
She included the number of the woman’s husband who received 14 texts and eight calls from prospective clients in the space of half an hour of the ad being posted.
Both families have been shattered by the repercussions of the affair.
Eleanor Brown is now in prison and her sister Sophie, 26, has been sacked by West Yorkshire Police where she was a patrol officer.
Now both families are picking up the pieces after a fling which both couples appeared to have survived suddenly erupted back into their lives.
In a victim statement, the former mistress – who cannot be identified for legal reasons – told of her devastation.
She said: ‘If you have ever felt so upset you are constantly nauseous and anxious you will know how I felt.
‘I still recall the moment my husband told me what she had done, the look of panic and upset on his face as he revealed the extent of her actions.
‘I was unable to stop the nightmare of my intimate pictures being shared with anyone and everyone.
‘They were my pictures and she shared them with unnamed people for their sexual gratification.
‘My pictures being used by strangers sickened me and I find it hard to believe that one woman would do this to another woman. To say I felt violated is an understatement.
‘The thought of her control over me causes me anxiety and the hate she harboured for me over the years is very evident.’
The court heard that Eleanor Brown had known of the affair since she was a child and over the years had turned her father’s lover – who she never met – into a ‘caricature.’
Harry Crowson, mitigating, said the Brown family did not discuss Geoff’s infidelity with her or try to support her. Instead, he said, she was ‘shouted down and lied to.’
The simmering resentment over the torrid fling exploded back into life when Sarah Brown discovered the mistress’s husband had set up a new business, advertising on Facebook.
The court heard that she pointed out the post on Facebook and also sent her the sexual images.
Egged on by her mother and sister, who played a part in the planning, Eleanor Brown began bombarding the business page with messages.
Prosecutor Lucy Brown said: ‘The business was doing well and gaining positive reviews but on August 27th 2022 Eleanor Brown posted a message on the profile calling his wife a home-wrecking s**g and a tramp.’
