Nude picture husband avoids spell in jail

Apr 27 2008 By Campbell Thomas

A BIKER who threatened to post naked pictures of his spurned wife on the internet has avoided jail.

Steven Bryden made the threats after accusing his wife Fiona, 34, of wrecking his beloved Kawasaki, then posting photos of the destruction on the Bebo networking website.

Bryden, 44, who left Fiona last September to set up home with 25-year-old Kim McFarlane, last week admitted sending her grossly offensive, indecent, obscene or menacing emails.

An allegation that the pictures were "indecent" was removed from the charge at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court. Bryden was fined £270.

Bryden, head of security at the Craig Tara holiday park, near Ayr, posted a picture of the Kawasaki being lowered into a crusher on his own Bebo page with the caption:

"Sad bitch did."

Another picture of the bike was given the caption: "She was my pride and joy till the cow got her hands on it."
