The BBC said court documents show that David Elam and the woman met via an online dating site in 2012.
The woman sent intimate images and videos to Elam while the pair were in a relationship but were living apart.
After the relationship broke down, Elam uploaded the images to several social media networks, porn websites and dating services. Elam allegedly impersonated her on these sites, shared her mobile number and home address with anyone who responded, the BBC reports.
