Kyle Gregory Anderson, 21, pleaded guilty to threatening to distribute an intimate image without consent at Dubbo Local Court.
Anderson had sent a woman a number Facebook messages saying he would distribute intimate videos of her on a content subscription service OnlyFans, in exchange for her not returning some of his clothes and a motor vehicle.

"Hmmm might make an OnlyFans of ya to pay for the [stuff] you're keeping from me," the first message read.
According to court documents the site is a subscriber site that had become popular in the sex industry for content creators to make substantial money.
He continued threatening the woman replying with laughing emojis that he had the intimate videos.
Court documents revealed the woman argued with Anderson, when he threatened "once you give them back to me, the videos will be deleted".
The woman contacted police with the fear the videos would be distributed on the internet and viewed by family members.
Police were notified when Anderson deleted the videos from the conversation history.
He was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police where he made full admissions to making the threat, but told police he had never intended to follow through with it.
At Dubbo Local Court Magistrate Wilson told Anderson it was an "extremely stupid thing to threaten somebody."
"It carries three years imprisonment, so it is deemed and considered by everyone to be a very serious offence," Magistrate Wilson said.
"Fortuitously from your perspective you didn't do it. Hopefully those thoughts will never cross your mind again."
Taking into consideration Anderson's age and lack of criminal history, Magistrate Wilson sentenced him to a good behaviour bond for 12 months.
