Fife perv booted out of college for blackmailing fellow student with nudes from her Facebook messages to boyfriend
David Drynan found the pics on a college computer after his victim had left herself logged in
A STUDENT was blackmailed by a perv after he accessed nude pics of her from private Facebook messages to her boyfriend.
David Drynan logged on to a computer previously used by the woman and found the personal images in her messages.
Sleazy Drynan then created a fake profile and threatened to make the photos public if she did not send him more naked images.
When she refused to do so, Drynan went ahead and posted the photos.

The creep was booted off his college course and yesterday appeared in the dock at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
His claims that he was trying to help the victim were dismissed by a sheriff.
Drynan, 29, of Rosabelle Street, Kirkcaldy, admitted that on June 7 at Fife College, he behaved in a threatening or abusive manner.
He also admitted that on June 8 he posted images of the woman on the internet intending to cause her fear, alarm or distress.
Depute fiscal Sarah Lumsden said the victim and Drynan were both students at the college at the time but did not know each other.
The female had been using a college computer and at one point had logged into Facebook.
Later that day, Drynan used the same device and found it was still logged into the victim’s Facebook page.
The woman then began receiving messages from Drynan who was using a false profile named ‘John Smith Tee Hee Hee’.
He sent her an initial message saying “Looking good girl” and “send more boob pics”. If she did not, he would post the images he had already found, he warned.
The victim was able to track down the I.P. address to Fife College and investigations began.
The following day more messages were received from the fake profile including: “Six and a half hours to go. Better get those boob pics sent.”
He also stated it would a “shame” if the images were sent to her employers.
Another message said: “Last chance”.
When he did not receive the photos he demanded, Drynan went ahead and posted the original images online.

When police inquiries led to his arrest, Drynan commented “I have no words” and said he did not know the victim’s name.
Defence solicitor Amy Farmer said her client had been removed from the college course as a result of these offences.
The solicitor claimed Drynan’s plan had been to show the woman she had been “reckless” by leaving the computer logged into her social media.
She said: “The intention had been to warn her about these images getting into the wrong hands. At no stage had he meant for images to be sent to him. He was looking for a response and didn’t get it.”
Sheriff Charles MacNair interrupted, saying: “That makes no possible sense.”
The sheriff called for reports and Drynan will be sentenced on 31st May.
