He was a married man who befriended a 17-year-old student via a chat app and they had sex after getting into a relationship.
When the student decided to avoid him, Ramesh Segaran, a Malaysian living in Singapore, blackmailed her into sending him nude photographs of herself, and disseminated them to at least 20 other men on WeChat.
On Wednesday (3 January), Ramesh, now 31, was jailed 28 weeks after he pleaded guilty in the State Courts to a count of criminal intimidation and a count of distributing obscene material. Two other similar charges were taken into consideration for his sentencing.
The court heard that Ramesh, a father of a one-year-old son, befriended the victim sometime in February 2016 on WeChat. The victim cannot be named due to a gag order.
..........
Later in the month, the victim received up to 20 friend requests in WeChat from male strangers.
One of the strangers told her that a male by the user name of “Ramesh” had circulated her nude photographs, name and contact details in a WeChat public group, which was set up to share pornographic videos and nude photographs.
The victim lodged a police report and Ramesh was later arrested.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Chee Ee Ling called for a minimum seven-month jail term. She noted that the accused continued to contact the victim despite being told by an investigation officer not to do so.
Ramesh had called the victim, pleading for her to withdraw the case. He also apologised to her, saying that he needed to take care of his son.
