Kameron Decena

A 27-year-old man from Carterton has been sentenced following his conviction for threatening to share revenge porn against a woman in Witney. Kameron Decena, residing in Lancaster Place, appeared at Oxford Magistrates’ Court where he was held accountable for his actions that caused significant distress.

The case against Decena centred on one count of threatening to disclose private sexual photographs and films with the intent to cause distress. Initially, on 7 December of the previous year, Decena entered a not guilty plea at the same court. However, after a trial on 22 April, he was found guilty of the offence, which occurred on 4 April. The court determined that Decena's threats targeted a woman who cannot be named for legal reasons, highlighting the sensitive nature of the incident.

Sentencing took place on 21 May at Oxford Magistrates’ Court. Rather than a custodial sentence, Decena was handed a community order requiring him to complete five days of rehabilitation activities and 80 hours of unpaid work. Additionally, a programme requirement was imposed to address his behaviour, and he was made subject to a restraining order to prevent further contact or harm to the victim. This outcome reflects the court's aim to rehabilitate while protecting the community.

The case was reported by local news outlet This is Oxfordshire, with coverage by court and crime reporter Gee Harland. It underscores the serious legal consequences for threats involving intimate images, as outlined under UK legislation prohibiting such disclosures without consent. No direct quotes from the trial proceedings were available in the reporting, but the guilty verdict followed a thorough examination of evidence presented.
