Man shoots wife’s lover over revenge porn scandal

A man has shot his wife's lover in the legs... but he's not the one in trouble!

A British man has shot his wife’s lover in the legs after the lover posted naked photographs of his wife on Facebook without her consent.

And the lover has gone to prison.

The Mirror reports that Robert Ellerby’s wife, Ruby, left him earlier this year for another man, Scott Watmuff.

They had a passionate fling, but she ultimately went back to her husband.

The Mirror reports that Scott then posted revenge porn photographs of Ruby on Facebook.

He also went to her house to demand money, and when she didn’t answer, he threw a rock through the windscreen of her Honda Civic.

Ruby’s husband, who was home at the time, took aim through an attic window, and shot Scott as he stood in the driveway.

Scott has been jailed for 16 weeks for damaging the car and posting the naked photographs.
