A spurned mistress took spectacular revenge on her ex-lover by plastering three cities with compromising billboard posters.
YaVaughnie Wilkins, 41, selected images of herself with high-flying businessman Charles E. Phillips, who is an adviser to Barack Obama, after he returned to his wife Karen.
She paid around £30,000 each for three posters in New York, one in Atlanta - and one in San Francisco where Wilkins lives and his technology company Oracle is based.

Her extraordinary actions had the desired effect. The chief executive has been forced into an embarrassing public statement in which he admitted their affair.
'I had an eight-and-a-half year serious relationship with YaVaughnie Wilkins. The relationship with Ms Wilkins has since ended and we both wish each other well,' he said.
Phillips, 50, is a member of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.
According to the New York Post, Mrs Phillips had filed for divorce last February but no further action had been taken.
The huge posters had baffled Americans.
One billboard in Times Square shows the couple beaming, is captioned 'Charles & YaVaughnie' and using his initials proclaims: 'You are my soulmate forever. cep.'
The posters also include a web address which is a shrine to their affair, with pictures chronicling their travels around the world, including the Great Wall of China and Sydney Harbour, as well as ticket stubs from concerts, films, sports games and President Obama's inauguration.
The web site includes love notes, with the messages: 'You're all that matters to me,' and her gushing: 'Charles, you have my heart forever – I love you so much.
