A man has admitted an offence of "revenge porn" by publishing a private sexual video of a woman without her consent.
Adam John Cousins, 32, also admitted two breaches of a restraining order by harassing the same woman.
Scarborough magistrates made the order a year ago in a bid to protect the woman from Cousins, of Prospect Place, Pickering.
But, York Crown Court heard that on Boxing Day, he showed another person the video of the woman with intent to cause her distress.
He also breached the restraining order on the same day and on November 15.
His case was adjourned while probation officers prepare a pre-sentence report on him and he was released on bail until April 7, when he will return to the same court to learn his fate.
