Woman fearful of her naked photos going viral
IPOH: A 21-year-old salesgirl is living in fear that her nude photos will go viral after she sent them to a WeChat user.
The woman had sent the photos to a man who promised her RM15,000 in return.
Speaking during a press conference at the Perak MCA office here, the victim said she befriended the man on Nov 13.
“On Dec 1, the man told her via WeChat, that someone was willing to buy eight of her photos for RM12,000. He also promised to delete them later,” she said.
Also present was state MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau chairman Jimmy Loh and Perak MCA Wanita deputy head Choy Yoke Chun.
“I sent 30 copies of my photos to him. He promised to hand over the money at my shop in the evening on the same day. He later sent a personal message that he had jokingly asked for the photos and demanded RM5,000 from me instead.
“The person kept pestering me for the cash to be deposited into a bank account under the name of ‘Samy Muthu’, or he would make the photos go viral.”
She said although her photos had not been circulated online to date, she lives in fear that it might happen.
After consulting with her family, she sought the assistance of MCA’s complaints bureau on Dec 5, which helped her lodge a police report the following day.
Loh urged the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to speed up investigations on the matter.
