Tyler also downloaded a bikini image posted by one complainant on Instagram and used AI to remove the clothing, the court heard.

Another explicit edit was made on a photograph of a 16-year-old girl on her prom night.

"The defendant clearly planned his behaviour, trawling across social media accounts and editing the images as he wished," Ms Farrelly said.

Tyler also posted his victims' names and social media handles online, as well as their phone numbers, the court heard.

"The defendant clearly intended to maximise distress and humiliation for the victims," the prosecutor added.

Tyler was caught when he accidentally included his own Instagram handle in a screenshot taken of one of the women's accounts.

Two of the victims wept in the witness box as they told the judge of the impact Tyler's offending had on them.

One said she continued to receive "anonymous sexual comments" from people calling her phone, claiming it led to her long-term relationship ending.

"I have and still do feel completely violated by what Brandon did to me," another added. "I feel mortified and disgusted."

Judge Mills said Tyler lived in a "dark world of fantasy" and "clearly intended to degrade and humiliate" them with his actions.

He added: "The posts read like an advertising poster for the worst kind of toxic masculinity."

In mitigation, Michael Edmonds said Tyler had "struggled with a porn addiction from a young age", insisting he was not a misogynist or an "incel" - a term used to describe men who blame women because they are unable to find a sexual partner.

"This is not a man who has offended in any way, shape or form before. It is just bizarre that he did it," Mr Edmonds added.
