On Wednesday, Rhiannon Evans pleaded guilty to harassing Deborah Prytherech with multiple “inappropriate” videos of herself breaking wind in Britain’s first-ever cyber-farting case.

Prosecutor Diane Williams told magistrates at Caernarfon Justice Centre that in the first video “she proceeds to pass gas by placing the camera on her bottom and passing the gas”.

Over a span of days, the 25-year-old woman from Wales sent multiple similar videos, each showing her smirking at the camera while passing wind.

Evans' defense attorney, Harriet Gorst, attributed the incident to ongoing issues between Evans’ partner and Prytherech regarding child contact.

Prytherech said the videos caused her distress and anxiety and in her victim statement, she said: “I would like to feel safe in my home.”

“It was purely malicious," Prytherch told the court, adding that Evans may have found the videos funny, but it left her deeply disturbed.

Evans pleaded guilty to the ‘cyber-farting’ charges, and was sentenced to a 12-month community order along with a two-year restraining order. She also must pay £100 in compensation to Prytherech and £199 in court costs.

Speaking to The Sun, Evans feels the sentencing is reflective of what she refers to as a “snowflake generation”.

“I never thought farting would land me in court. I think the sentence is a bit excessive and dramatic.

“I sent the messages on WhatsApp. I do have regrets, but I wouldn't have thought I would be here for something like this, to be honest. It's petty.

"I've learned my lesson.”
