13-year-old boy arrested for threatening to circulate photo and video of naked girl masturbating

PETALING JAYA: A 13-year old boy was held by police for allegedly threatening to circulate a photo and video of a naked girl masturbating.
The suspect, a student in Sepang, became online friends with the girl through messaging application WeChat in March.
Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Azmi Abu Kassim said in the period being friends for about two months, the suspect asked for photos and videos from the victim.
"She sent revealing pictures of herself performing lewd acts," Azmi said.
"They would often contact each other via the application. But the girl became worried when the boy demanded more explicit photos and videos and decided to stop communicating with the suspect," he added.
According to Azmi, the suspect then threatened to circulate the photo and video of her.
Being scared that the threat would materialise, the girl filed a report which led to the arrest.
He said the boy was arrested in Sepang several hours after the report was lodged by the victim.
Police also seized a handphone, laptop, two T-shirts, a pair of shorts and a phone bill.
The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
