Gulf National Falls Victim to Student-Led Sextortion Ring in Morocco

It all started with a complaint filed by a national of a Gulf country against the four suspects. They accuse them of fraud, sexual blackmail and threatening to publish inappropriate photos of them on social media, reports Hespress. The modus operandi of the gang is to involve two young girls whose mission is to attract victims on social networks and film them in obscene scenes. After that, the four individuals blackmail and threaten their victims to publish the content of the recordings, in case they have not sent the fixed amounts of money.

Based on precise technical information, the elements of the judicial police of Settat managed to locate the four suspects. The latter were arrested in an apartment located in the city. The equipment they use has also been seized.

For now, the four suspects have been placed in custody, at the disposal of the investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office.
