SINGAPORE - A Malaysian national who threatened to put online a video of a woman performing intimate acts on her boyfriend if she did not pay him $1,000 was jailed for four months on Friday.
Shasvin Raj Sathiyalagan, 22, admitted to threatening a 38-year-old woman with injury to her reputation on June 14.
A district court heard that that six days before the incident, Shasvin Raj had called the victim from a Malaysian line and claimed he was her Facebook friend. He told her that during a drinking session with a Vicky, who she acknowledged was her boyfriend, he had found an intimate video of them.
He sent her the video through messaging platform WhatsApp and demanded that she pay him $1,000 in exchange for the video. He also provided an account number for the victim to transfer the money to.
