A 26-year-old woman who orchestrated a revenge porn attack on the woman she blamed for nearly destroying her parents' marriage has been released from prison, defiantly stating she has no regrets for her actions.
The Vengeful Campaign
Eleanor Brown, from Leeds, was sentenced to three years in prison in October 2024 for posting naked images of her father's former mistress on an escort website. The extraordinary act of vengeance, carried out with the involvement of her mother Sarah and sister Sophie, saw Brown create a profile on the 'Beaver Street' site offering sexual services for £5 and overnight stays for £10.
The advert included the woman's personal phone number, causing her device to be inundated with messages from prospective clients. Brown also included the number of the woman's husband, who received 14 texts and eight calls within half an hour of the ad going live.
A Family Feud Rekindled
The roots of the conflict stretch back over a decade. Eleanor Brown was just 14 when she discovered the affair between her father, former police officer Geoff Brown, and the other woman. Resentment simmered for years before reigniting in 2024.
The catalyst was Sarah Brown seeing that the mistress's husband had established a successful new business. This prompted Eleanor, egged on by her mother and sister, to begin a harassment campaign on the business's social media pages, labelling the man's wife a 'home-wrecking s**g and a tramp'.
The final, calculated blow was sending the husband a link to the escort advert via WhatsApp, accompanied by a link to Celine Dion's song 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now'. The distressed couple contacted the police, leading to Brown's arrest and eventual imprisonment.
Defiance from the Dock and Beyond
Throughout the legal process and following her release after serving half her sentence, Eleanor Brown has shown what the sentencing judge called a 'staggering' lack of remorse. Judge Alex Menary at Leeds Crown Court condemned her 'vindictive, selfish and vengeful behaviour'.
He noted she had forced her victims to give evidence in court, maximising their humiliation. Brown initially denied two counts of disclosing private sexual imagery but changed her plea to guilty mid-trial, receiving no credit for the late admission.
Now free, Brown remains unrepentant. In social media videos, she stated: 'If I could turn the clocks back the only thing I'd do differently is put my phone in the bin... But I am not remorseful. I do not hold any remorse in my body.' She summarised her position by saying, 'I think the moral of the story is that I am not sorry, never will be sorry, will never do it again.'
Life Behind Bars and Allegations
Since her release, Brown has used her platform to make a series of allegations about conditions within the UK's female prison estate, specifically at HMP New Hall and HMP Askham Grange.
She claimed the prison system is 'absolutely f***ed', alleging a lack of rehabilitation and describing some staff as 'absolutely vile'. One of her most repeated claims is that there are 'men in women's prisons'.
She also made graphic allegations about unsanitary behaviour by inmates and accused a prison governor and his officer wife of using prison facilities to do their personal laundry at public expense. The Ministry of Justice has not publicly commented on these specific claims.
The Lasting Fallout
The repercussions of the affair and the subsequent cyber-attack have shattered both families. Brown's sister, Sophie, was dismissed from her role as a patrol officer with West Yorkshire Police following the court case.
Despite the criminal conviction and imprisonment, Eleanor Brown claims to have rebuilt her life, stating she now has 'a job, got a house, got a nice fella, got good friends, got a good family'. Her case stands as a stark warning about the severe legal consequences of revenge porn and online harassment, even when perpetrators believe their motives are justified.
