77-Year-Old Retired School Principal Latest Victim Of Sextortion After Woman Sends Naked Video & Threatens False Rape Case

In a shocking case reported from Mumbai, a 77-year-old retired principal of a South Mumbai arts school became the latest victim of ‘sextortion’, after a woman repeatedly stalked him online, made video calls to him while posing naked and then threatened to make recordings of those calls public and file a rape case against him.

The victim is a resident of Khar (west), who filed a case at the Khar police station on November 17 after repeated calls from the woman for more than a week.

Case:

The former principal had retired in 2002, however, he used social media to keep in touch with students and to post stories related to arts. On November 10, the woman sent him a friend request on Facebook, but he did not accept as he didn’t know her.

In his complaint, the senior citizen said,

The woman sent a message saying she is employed in a beauty parlour and wanted to talk to me. But I did not accept her friend’s request. She then posted her contact number on his page and said she wanted to talk urgently.

An officer from Khar police told TOI,

Thinking matter was important, the victim shared his number too. The next two days, the woman kept sending messages to him, but he did not reply.

On November 12, he got a WhatsApp video call and found the woman posing naked. According to the police,

The victim immediately disconnected the call. Two days later, she insisted that he transfer Rs 249 for her mobile recharge.

The woman repeated this two to three times, before claiming that she had recorded him enjoying her naked video calls.

She threatened to share the video with his wife and children and file a false rape case against him if he disconnected her calls, said cops. The officer added,

We are getting the help of the cyber cell in tracking the internet protocol (IP) address of the woman who threatened him and tried to extort money after repeatedly stalking him on social media.

MDO Take:

• Online and cyber traps laid by women have become extremely common
• At the outset, do not share your number with any unknown individual, irrespective of requests or pleadings made by the person/s
• In case you are getting harassed or blackmailed by such calls/messages, immediately report the matter to your nearest police station, without any fear or shame or loss of face in society
• If you avoid doing so and give into the demands made by blackmailers, you will be only dragging yourself deeper in the mess
• While the younger generation is more tech savvy, please educate all senior citizens around you, so that they do not land up in a situation – which they may feel is embarrassing and taboo
