By Wendy Lim
A 35-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested for posing as a professional photographer to coerce young women into giving in to his sexual demands.
In two cases reported last November, the suspect had befriended two 20-year-old women online and led them to believe that he would pay them for modelling assignments.
When the victims met the suspect, he asked them to undress and pose in revealing photo shoots.
After the photo shoots, the suspect refused to pay the victims and threatened to post the revealing photos online if they did not give in to his sexual demands or give him money.
The suspect was arrested on Tuesday. He is believed to have been involved in more similar cases.
The suspect will be charged in court on Thursday for cheating and criminal intimidation.
