Fun phone antics can spur blackmail
The Technology Crime Suppression Division is warning the public not to record their sex acts on Valentine’s Day as the footage could be used in blackmail after a relationship ends.
“Lovers may voluntarily record their sexual intercourse,” Pol Col Siriwat Deepor, deputy division commander, said yesterday.
“When they break up in the future, men could release the clips online and damage women.”
“Sextortion” may be carried out by people who are in possession of pornographic materials of another person, he said.
The wrongdoers could be people who had a close relationship with a victim or those who convinced an unsuspecting victim to share private images online, he said.
Those images could be used to blackmail a victim for money or sex as the offender could post them online.
Sextortion is a type of crime…
