I cannot see that including these images to court is disseminating images, but it might be worth getting some professional legal advice to confirm this. I'd also bring up that message from her solicitor to the court to show that they are trying to suppress relevant documentation.
As ACTD has just responded...
Also, if it was me in that situation knowing what I know now, I would be off to the police station to report her for harassing you by sending unwanted contact messages of graphic and sexual nature....
when at court explain that you reported it to the police as unwanted contact and harassment.
harassment goes both ways!
I would suggest calling the court and asking them. You can write a cover letter stating you are submitting this evidence to prove the accusations are untrue, not in any way to embarrass her.
If you contest the order, then a fact and finding hearing would be required and evidence will need to be submitted. I should not matter how graphic the images and texts are, it is proof a the end of day and should be used if needed.
Good luck with it all.
I have no experience of this kinda thing but to disseminate is to spread widely. You’ve provided it to, and only to the court, and anything provided to the court should be confidential. It smacks of a bit of desperation from her solicitor.
Does it specifically state the bit about photographs within the non mol order? If they have specifically requested that to be included in the order then it indicates they are aware of the photos, the implications of them and are trying to cut that off as an option for you to defend yourself.
Normally within a non mol there’s stuff like not posting negative stuff on social media or other public forums. I can’t imagine this extends as far as the court.
