EXCLUSIVE
A young mother who was allegedly murdered in a love triangle was recently caught up in an alleged revenge porn attack.
Kiesha Thompson, 23, was allegedly deliberately hit by a 4×4 vehicle as she walked home along a footpath after dropping her daughter off at daycare in Daisy Hill, south of Brisbane, last Friday.
Ms Thompson died in hospital that night and police have since charged her ex-partner Tyler Scott William James, 27, and his new girlfriend Larissa Rita Mae-Leigh Sant, 24, with domestic violence murder.
Police will allege James was involved in planning the attack, before Sant carried it out, spending “a prolonged amount of time” driving around the suburb in his Toyota LandCruiser Prado before running over Ms Thompson.
Now, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that an apparently fake social media account was created in Ms Thompson’s name in April.
The account features highly explicit photographs of Ms Thompson that appear to have been posted without her permission.
The only time the account -which includes Link in bio to a non-existent OnlyFans page – appears to have been active on the day it was created, when 15 photos of Ms Thompson were uploaded.
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest the incident and Ms Thompson’s murder are linked or that those charged in her death were involved.

A social media account containing alleged revenge porn appears to have been created under Ms Thompson’s name in April.
The revelation comes as Queensland Police revealed on Tuesday that they were aware of “concerning” posts online and were working to remove them.
“We have taken steps to try to get those posts looked into. That will be part of an ongoing investigation, but we have also taken steps to try to get them removed, which is a challenge,” Detective Inspector Chris Knight told reporters.
“But it’s not something we take lightly and it’s inexplicable.”
Detective Inspector Knight said the social media posts had compounded Ms Thompson’s grief.
‘When I first learned of those posts, and there have been quite a few, it was distressing in many ways,’ she said.
‘But the most important thing is the pain it causes the surviving victims of this, it is difficult to put into words, it never ceases to amaze me.
“They are mourning the loss of their niece, their sister. She was a mother. The impact that (her death) will have on her family is tremendous.”
Earlier this week, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Sant was a young mother of three who worked at a Brisbane petting zoo.
Tyler James, 27 (pictured), is alleged to have been involved in planning the murder of his ex-partner.
Larissa Rita Mae-Leigh Sant, 24 (pictured), allegedly killed Kiesha Thompson, 23, by running her over with a car.

Police said James and Ms. Thompson broke up several months ago, but did not detail what they allege led to the tragedy.
James, who is from Acacia Ridge and the father of Ms Thompson’s child, did not appear in person at Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday, where his charge was briefly mentioned.
James’ lawyer, Catherine Stewart, has asked for the matter to be heard next as a preliminary hearing at Beenleigh Magistrates’ Court on July 31 with his co-accused.
Sant was remanded in custody after her matter was mentioned at Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on Monday and will reappear at Beenleigh Magistrates’ Court on July 31.
Magistrate Julian Noud on Tuesday ordered James to remain in custody and for his charge to be mentioned alongside Sant’s at the same hearing, but excused him from appearing in person.
The tragedy has left Ms Thompson’s family grappling with an “enormity” of grief.
Koby Torto said his sister was taken from her family in a “cowardly act,” while her aunt Amanda Matthias called it “horrible and senseless” in a video released by police on Monday.
His sister, Keyara, said the pain of losing her brother was beyond words.
“We are struggling with the enormity of his absence in our lives,” she said.
Her family pledged to care for her young daughter, who was “the absolute light of her life.”
“We are here to support her (her daughter) throughout her life,” Torto said.
Kiesha Thompson’s heartbroken family broke their silence on Monday
TO GoFundMe The campaign, created to raise funds to honor Kiesha’s memory and help secure her daughter’s future, has already raised nearly $20,000.
“The family cannot express enough gratitude for the heroic efforts of everyone involved in caring for Kiesha following the collision,” the page states.
Kiesha was a loving and dedicated mother, the sole caregiver of her precious son.
‘She had created a warm and stable home for them, and her daughter had just started kindergarten so Kiesha could pursue her dream of becoming a painter through an apprenticeship program.
The family is devastated and struggling to come to terms with this senseless tragedy.
‘As they grieve and focus on caring for Kiesha’s daughter, they need our support more than ever.’
