The police arrested a local man on Sunday for allegedly blackmailing his ex-girlfriend with the help of a 5-second sex video to get her back, Public Security Police (PSP) spokesman Choi Iok Kin said during a regular press conference yesterday.
Choi said the 28-year-old suspect is surnamed Lao. He told the police that he works as an insurance agent. The victim is about 20 years old. Her personal information was not released.
The incident happened on the night of June 22. Choi said that the victim received a WeChat message from her ex-boyfriend, asking her to return to his flat in Taipa where both had lived for nine months.
This undated handout photo released by the Public Security Police (PSP) yesterday shows the hooded blackmail suspect being escorted by a PSP officer to the Public Prosecution Office (MP) in Nape.
