Cops hunt woman blackmailing blokes after coaxing them into sex act on Skype
A SEXY woman who has blackmailed at least 20 men by getting them to strip naked on Skype is being hunted by cops.
More than a dozen blokes have been conned out of £500 each after she chatted them up online and then encouraged them to perform sex acts.
The suspect, described as being “young and attractive” by police, then promises to release the footage and send it to their pals on Facebook if they do not cough up the money.
Hertfordshire Police said most of those blackmailed by the woman lived in Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield.
A police spokesman said: “Police have received a number of reports from young men across Hertfordshire who have been enticed by an unknown person to carry out explicit acts via Skype and then blackmailed.
“The men, whose ages range between 17 and 36, are contacted by a ‘young attractive woman’ via social media and encouraged to have conversations via the online video chat service, Skype.”
The spokesman added: “The woman encourages the victim to perform a sexual act for her to view.
“The victim is told that the video will be posted to their friends and family via social media if they do not pay the money.
“The men are being approached on various sites, however predominantly through friend requests on Facebook. In some cases money has been transferred to the offender, often in the region of £500.”
