Man who threatened to circulate semi-nude pics of housewife nabbed

The police detained a man last Sunday for allegedly extorting RM5,000 from a housewife after threatening to circulate pictures of the woman in a semi-nude pose.

Iskandar Puteri police chief ACP Noor Hashim Mohamad said the suspect, in his 40s, was picked up in Alor Setar, Kedah by a team from the Kuala Kedah police station, about 5pm.

The self-employed father of two was remanded for four days to facilitate investigations.

The 48-year-old victim claimed she had befriended the man via Facebook before the suspect went to meet her at a bus terminal in Johor and later stayed together at a hotel in Nusa Dua Bestari, Skudai.

At a press conference today, Noor Hashim said the woman also claimed she had agreed to the wishes of the suspect, including going on a trip to Singapore before returning to a bus terminal to send him back to Kedah while she was in a semi-conscious state.

“Subsequently, the suspect contacted the woman and demanded RM5,000, He had also threatened to inform her husband on their meeting and circulate pictures of her in semi-nude,” he said, adding that the man also took photocopies of the woman's MyKad and marriage certificate.
