Deputy headmistress, 30, sacked after posting photos of boyfriend’s ex-lover’s breasts on Facebook in bitter love feud
A DEPUTY head was sacked after she posted revenge porn pictures of her boyfriend’s ex-lover in a jealous rage.
Antonia Traynor, 30, posted a snap of the woman’s breasts on Facebook with the caption: “Now she is emailing Gaz her t*ts FFS!’’
She also made a throat slitting gesture towards the victim, who had previously dated Traynor’s boyfriend Gary Openshaw before they were in a relationship.
The jealous deputy head told her during the bitter love feud: “You are dead, you are f**king dead.”
Traynor is now claiming Universal Credit after being sacked from her role at an unnamed school.
She was convicted of disclosing private sexual photographs with intent to cause distress and using threatening behaviour at Manchester Magistrates’ Court.
Traynor was slapped with a restraining order banning her from contacting the victim for 12 months.
The victim, who has two children, told the court: “I am conscious of the threats, it’s had a massive impact on us and we have had to move house. It is one thing to affect my life but to upset my children too is on another level.

”She has never apologised to me for her actions. This has humiliating for me and upset my family.
“I have arguments with people but having this done to me has caused me a lot of upset. Parents at my children’s school will have seen these pictures and it has caused me a lot of distress. I feel embarrassed.
”Someone who has a good job should know what damage this can do. It has caused me maximum humiliation. I do not think she cares about the effect this has had on me.”
The court was told the feud began in 2019 when Traynor began dating Gary.
In January this year, Traynor messaged his ex-lover asking her to ring her but a row erupted and “nasty things” were said to one another.
Later that evening, the victim received a phonecall from a friend saying Traynor had posted a picture of her breasts on Facebook.
‘HUMILIATED AND DISTURBED’
Eileen Rogers, prosecuting, said: “That came from a FB profile called ‘Deano’ in Manchester.
“A friend took a screenshot of her breasts on FB and sent it to the complainant and a comment with the picture said: ‘Now she is emailing Gaz her t*ts ffs’ with smiling and laughing emojis.
”The complainant was humiliated and disturbed. She knew the picture was of herself taken from sometime ago. Two other comments from Deano Manchester said ‘freak mate’ and ‘stalker’.”
The “distressed” mum called the police – but was then threatened two months later as she picked her children off at school.
She said she noticed a car blocking the lane Traynor was “alone waving her hand in a frantic way towards me”.
The victim added: “She drove across the front of my car and I could see here clearly looking right at me and she was screaming.
‘DRUNKEN MISTAKE’
“I couldn’t hear exactly what she said but from what I could tell she was saying ‘you are dead, you are f**king dead’.
“She was crossing her finger across her throat in a gesture. I can clearly say she was trying to intimidate me, I am now living in fear – I’m now living in fear of her.”
The court was told Traynor had been drinking wine with medication when she posted the picture in a “stupid, drunken mistake”.
Her defence lawyer Darin Millar said: “My client is not in employment as a result of this conviction and she is going to find it difficult to ever get a job in education again.
“She is in receipt of universal credit. This is a young woman who has never been in this situation before. She has regretted this every day, she will not do it again.”
The lawyer also claimed she was accosted by one of the prosecution witnesses outside court ahead of her sentencing hearing.
Traynor was given a 12 month community order and told to complete 150 hours unpaid work. She must also pay £320 in costs and surcharges.
