Woman, kin nabbed for threats, extortion of ex-boyfriend's girlfriend

A woman—along with a brother and an aunt—was arrested in Tarlac for alleged threats and extortion of her ex-boyfriend’s next girlfriend.

According to Jun Veneracion's report on "24 Oras," alias “Emma” started to threaten the victim that she would release sensitive photos and videos after the victim broke up with the boyfriend.

“Nag-ugat ito sa pagseselos ng suspek. Iniwan siya ng boyfriend niya para maging sila ng victim po,” PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group Spokesperson Police Lieutenant Wallen Arancillo said.

(This was caused by the suspect’s jealousy. Her boyfriend left her to be with the victim.)

Emma allegedly began asking the victim for money in July.

“Nakaabot ng P113,000 yung nabigay ng victim sa suspek. Ang pinaka-last demand ng suspek sa victim ay P40,000,” Arancillo added.

(The money the victim sent the suspect has reached P113,000. The suspect’s last demand from the victim was P40,000.)

The victim filed a complaint with the ACG, who immediately conducted an entrapment operation in which the suspects were arrested.

Emma, her brother, and aunt are facing complaints for grave threats and robbery with intimidation of a person in relation to the Cybercrime Prevention Act. —Jiselle Anne C. Casucian/NB, GMA Integrated News
