Shin Min Daily News
A man has been charged for attempting to blackmail a female friend to have sex with him.
The 31-year-old Malaysian man, a Singapore PR, had allegedly told the victim on 21 October this year that he had a video of her bathing.
He then threatened to email the video to the company that she was working at if she turned down his demands to meet and have sex with him.
The victim, a 26-year-old clerk, was the man's school mate in the same university in Sabah, Malaysia.
The two were not known to have a prior relationship and it is understood that they did not stay in contact after they graduated from university.
If found guilty of insulting the modesty of the victim, the man faces a jail term of up to a year and a fine.
