An Athens man reported that a woman he met online attempted to extort money by threatening to release an embarrassing video to his friends and family, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The 27-year-old man told police he had become Facebook friends with the woman, and that during a video chat, he took off his clothes and “did things of a sexual nature,” all at her request. The woman then sent a message that she would release the video if he didn’t pay, according to police.
When police attempted to investigate, they found the woman’s Facebook account had been deleted.
