MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A 39-year-old computer professional has pleaded guilty to providing nude and sexually explicit photos to his ex-girlfriend's employer, supervisors and fellow workers in an effort to embarrass her.

Antonio Giansante Garcia will serve 30 days in the county jail and was given 5 years probation after pleading guilty to two counts of Video Voyeurism, a third degree felony.

The victim, who was a minor at the time, said she left Giansante in 2012 "due to his jealousy and possessiveness" toward her, stating that the relationship was "unhealthy."

During their relationship, Giansante took a number of non-consented nude photographs and explicit videos, according to a search warrant filed in February 2015.

The report goes on to say that the victim's co-workers and supervisors were all shown the photos via 'friend requests' from fake Facebook accounts set up by Giansante, an I.T. professional.

"Revenge porn is a tool for a spurned former partner, spouse or lover to gain power and control over someone," commented State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. "It is a means of breaking the will and destroying the reputation and self-image of someone the criminal claims to have loved. Mr. Giansante's plan for dominance was spoiled by this victim's courage in coming forward to prosecute this crime."

Rundle and a coalition of victim advocates helped enact legislation last year making "revenge porn" a crime.
