A former nurse who posed as a man online to con women into sending her naked pictures has been jailed for repeating the offence only months after being released.
Adele Rennie, 28, targeted three more victims and used voice-altering software to sound like a man in the so-called ‘catfish’ scam.
Rennie, of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, admitted posing as men named Dan, Daniel, Max and Jack during an 18-day period in which she duped victims into sending her personal information and pictures by social media apps such as Tinder and Instagram.
She also tricked one of the women, a single mother, into sending a video after she posed as a lawyer.
Rennie admitted the crimes, which caused her victims ‘fear and alarm’, at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court earlier this month.
All the offences were carried out in January, three months after she was freed from jail after serving ten months of a 22-month sentence for an identical scam.
Yesterday, Rennie returned to court and was jailed for three years. The court heard how the nurse targeted a young mother by posing online as a 31-year-old lawyer named Dan from Troon, Ayrshire.
