A 35-year-old man has been arrested for extortion after he
allegedly demanded 100 rounds of sexual intercourse or $1 000 from his ex-girlfriend under the
threat of releasing her nude pictures on social media.
Lazarus Masango, however, denied the charges when he
appeared before magistrate Perseverance Makala. He is being charged with
extortion as defined in section 134(1) (a) of the Criminal Law (Codification
and Reform) Act Chapter 09:23.
According to court records, Masango exerted illegitimate
pressure on Patricia Findi on February 9 when he demanded bedding her 100 times
or that she pays $1 000 so that he would not post her nude pictures on social
media.
He demanded that she pays a $256 deposit by end of day if
she opted for the monetary route.
Masango then sent his friend to collect the money at
Dangamvura rank where he walked into a trap.
He was arrested when he went to meet his friend hoping to
collect the money.
Upon Masango’s arrest he was also found in possession of
six pictures of an undressed lady and a pornographic video in his Samsung S6
Edge cell phone prompting another charge.
He will also be prosecuted for possession of prohibited
articles for contravening section 26(1) (a) of the Censorship and
Entertainments Control Act Chapter 10:04.
He is applying for bail pending his trial which the State
is opposing for fear that he would interfere with witnesses. Daily News
