A jealous boyfriend smashed a sex toy belonging to his partner and buried it in her back garden after becoming convinced she was on OnlyFans.
Nathan Page, 26, used a spade to cut the £60 vibrator in half before digging a hole to hide it in the garden of her home.
Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard his bizarre actions were a revenge attack after Page came to believe his girlfriend was working on OnlyFans, a subscription-based website where users pay a monthly fee to access adult content from creators.

Serena Berry, prosecuting, said: “This was a revenge attack for something she may or may not have done.
“The reason he had got rid of this item was because he thought she had been with other men. He told police in an interview that he thought he had seen her on sex sites.”
“I thought it was funny,” Page told magistrates from the dock, where he was being sentenced for destroying the pleasure toy.
The court was told that Police officers dug up parts of the sex toy from the garden months later, as part of investigations into other allegations.
Page, of Holt Road in Fakenham, pleaded guilty to criminal damage over the incident which occurred at some point between May and September 2022.

Magistrates sentenced him to an 18 month conditional discharge and ordered he pay £60 compensation to his - now former - partner.
David Foulkes, mitigating, said: “It has taken police more than two years to bring this to court. That is an extraordinary length of time for what is a case of what is low level criminal damage.
“The parties are no longer in a relationship in the meantime.”
He added: “He believed she was using the OnlyFans website and that upset him and caused him to behave as he did.”
