Two men accused of blackmailing a woman into having sex with them were arrested in an entrapment operation in Naga City, Camarines Sur.

The operation’s main target was the woman’s 42-year-old former live-in partner who was arrested by the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit (RACU) of the Philippine National Police (PNP) after several attempts. 

Arrested with him was his 25-year-old accomplice. 

The victim, 27, sought help from authorities in 2023. Evidence gathered by the PNP’s Anti-Cybercrime Unit showed that the woman’s former live-in partner used incriminating photos and videos to force her into a threesome with the accomplice in exchange for the photos and videos. 

This reportedly happened after the victim and the 42-year-old suspect broke up. They have two children together.

“Actually, igwa na sindang duwang aki as live-in partners. Dae na nakayanan kang babae, nagsuway na lang siya. Pero nagpoon na naman ining April [2024], dakol nang mga sexual activities or videos na ikinakalat kang perpetrator sa ka-opisina niya,” PSMS. Leah Rivera, Assistant Team Leader of RACU Naga City and Camarines Sur, said.

“Pag-hiwalay nila, kapalit nung nude pictures, may request pa na magti-threesome sila kapalit nung pictures para hindi ikalat,” PCPT. Angelo Babagay, Team Leader of RACU Naga City and Camarines Sur, said.

Both suspects are facing charges for violating the Anti-Trafficking Law and Cybercrime Prevention Act.
