> A woman lodged a police report in Singapore complaining that she was cheated by her former boyfriend, who took nude pictures of her and posted them on the Internet.
China Press reported that the pictures were offered for viewing at S$150 (RM345).
The victim from Hangzhou, China, identified as Lee, 26, said the man collected the money but did not share a single cent with her. Instead, he broke off the relationship.
Lee and her boyfriend graduated from an arts college in Singapore before they started dating and living in together. However, Lee said she could not get a job after graduation and tried her luck at modelling.
She even attended a modelling course. However, she failed in several auditions. In 2008, the boyfriend showed her some photographs and asked her to pose naked for “art photos” to earn some income.
The man produced 28 photo albums, uploaded them on the Internet and charged a viewing fee of S$150 for each album. Lee has engaged a lawyer to take legal action against her former boyfriend.
