A teacher who died after drinking poison was living in fear because her ex-boyfriend had posted 'indecent' pictures of her on the internet, her mother claimed yesterday.
Emma Jones, 24, was working in an international school in Abu Dhabi - and was afraid she could be jailed over the images.
She had begun to pack her things ready to return to Britain but drank corrosive cleaning fluid and her body was found by a flatmate, an inquest heard.

Her mother Louise Rowlands said Miss Jones was distressed after former boyfriend Jamie Brayley posted pictures of her on Facebook.
'He put a memory stick in the computer and copied some indecent images of Emma,' said Mrs Rowlands, 41, from Caerphilly, South Wales.
'He put them on her Facebook and she said she was accused of prostitution by a man working at the school.'

Miss Jones, a graduate of Greenwich University in London, had worked at the International School of Choueifat in Khalifa City since 2008, teaching eight-year-olds.
The inquest heard that a man called George working in the IT department had seen the pictures - and she feared he would report it to the authorities.
'Emma and George didn't get on at all,' added Mrs Rowlands. 'She said she had to get away.'

Miss Jones was said to have told her mother and flatmates that she feared she would be jailed by Abu Dhabi's strict Muslim regime.
'She was crying, she was breaking her heart,' said Mrs Rowlands, a full-time carer. 'I said, "Emma, whatever it is can't be that bad. Just come home".'
But Miss Jones told her mother: 'I can't leave the country, they will throw me in jail.'
Her flatmate Mona Moshki, an Iranian teacher, found Miss Jones's body. Her passport was in her jeans pocket and her clothes were on her bed ready for packing.

Miss Jones's ex-boyfriend described her mother's claims as 'complete fantasy'.
Mr Brayley, who is in his early 30s, admitted he had used Miss Jones's computer but denied he had ever downloaded private photographs of her.
'Emma never sent me any indecent images,' he said. 'She wasn't that type of character.'
The inquest in Cardiff heard that Abu Dhabi police suspected suicide and ruled out crime.
Pathologist Dr Thomas Hockey performed a postmortem examination at Llandough Hospital, near Cardiff, which confirmed that Miss Jones had drunk a corrosive substance.
Coroner Thomas Atherton said he did not believe Mr Brayley was to blame for the tragedy.
He said he could not be sure that Miss Jones had meant to kill herself and recorded an open verdict.
He said she might have accidentally drunk cleaning fluid from an unlabelled container, mistakenly believing it was water.
'For whatever reason, Emma expressed concern that she was about to be arrested and put in prison.
'She agreed the best course of action was to leave Abu Dhabi and return to Britain. Her clothes were out and her passport was in her pocket.
'That's not someone who is contemplating suicide.'
