KUALA LUMPUR: A 15-year-old girl who was photographed naked while talking with a male acquaintance on social media is being extorted by the man who threatened to spread the photos.
Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Beh Eng Lai said the victim lodged a police report on Friday.
“Initial investigations revealed that the girl, who is from Jinjang, had gotten to know the suspect three months ago through Instagram.
“They talked to each other often via Instagram, and the suspect managed to pursuade her to take her clothes off while on a video call.
“He took screen shots of the video call without her knowledge.”
He said the suspect then threatened to spread the naked photos if the victim did not introduce him to her friends.
“We are in the midst of tracking down the suspect, ” said ACP Beh, who reminded the public to be careful while using social media and not to be easily duped, especially by those who they only got to know recently.
He also urged those with information to contact the KL police hotline at 03-2115 9999, the Sentul police hotline at 03-4048 2222, or the nearest police station. - Star
