TWO sisters hatched a “revenge” plot to post naked pictures of their father’s mistress online to “humiliate” her.
Geoff Brown, 61, had an affair with the woman – who was also married – a decade ago, sowing the seeds for his daughters’ revenge plot many years later.

Sisters Eleanor, 24, and Sophie Brown planned to humiliate the other woman, colluding to post private, intimate pictures of her on an escort website.
They originally planned to post the naked photos on Gumtree and advertise sexual services for £5, but instead went with the escort site, adding the phone number of the woman’s husband.
This meant he would receive a number of calls from men who were looking at the escorting site.
Eleanor, of Morley, West Yorkshire, admitted disclosing private photographs without consent during a trial at Leeds Crown Court, and now faces an “almost inevitable” prison sentence, MailOnline reports.
Her sister Sophie was banned from policing for life in April after she resigned over the part she played in the scheme.
The affair was revealed in 2015 after Geoff’s wife Sarah, 57, found intimate pictures and videos that the other woman had shared with her husband during the affair.
Geoff and Sarah are still together.
Between August and September 2022, Eleanor posted “derogatory comments” about the other woman on her husband’s business website.
She also sent him the intimate pictures of his wife over WhatsApp and uploaded them to an escort website.
Prosecutors called the move a “calculated effort to cause distress in an act of revenge”.
The woman told the court she had felt a “sickening feeling of just complete panic” after discovering sexual pictures of her were shared on the internet.
Brown initially denied two counts of sharing private sexual photographs without consent, but admitted it shortly before she was set to give evidence in her own defence.
Judge Alexander Menary adjourned the case ahead of sentencing next month, saying that it was “almost inevitable” she would be jailed.
Her sister Sophie was found guilty of gross misconduct, quitting her job as a patrol officer at West Yorkshire Police.
In April, a disciplinary hearing found she would have been given the sack had she not resigned.
The hearing was told Sophie encouraged her sister to post the intimate images in an “act of revenge”.
Messages exchanged between the sisters revealed how they first planned to post the naked photos on Gumtree and advertise sexual services for £5.
But they then discussed using an escorting website, adding the woman’s husband’s phone number on the profile.
While Eleanor carried out many of the actions, they were “initiated and encouraged” by Sophie, the panel was told.
Sophie Brown resigned from West Yorkshire Police after the allegations came to light, but the panel ruled she would have been dismissed if she was still serving.
