Nathan Lloyd, 22, posted a picture of his former girlfriend Cazine McCarthy, of Haverfordwest in Wales, on her Instagram account and then changed her password so she could not remove it.
He had received the photo from her when they were still together, along with an intimate video which he also shared online.
Miss McCarthy, a mother of one, has spoken out about the incident for the first time to warn other women about the dangers of sending explicit photographs in what she described as a 'moment of madness.'
She said: 'I sent a video and image of myself to Nathan because he was working away and kept asking.
'I was unsure at first but he reassured me. He said I could trust him and that he would never show anyone else.
'Looking back it was stupid and I'd never do it again.
'Women have to protect themselves. Not knowing where my picture has been shared is so frightening.'
Revenge porn involves ex-partners uploading sexually explicit content of their lovers without their permission and legislation is currently going through Parliament to make it a criminal offence.
The image and video of Miss McCarthy were only removed from Instagram after Miss McCarthy's friends reported it hundreds of times.
She added: 'I've lost total control.
'Looking back I wouldn't have sent him the photo or the video but I can't change what happened.
