A man was arrested by operatives of the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group 3 at a convenience store in Balagtas town, Bulacan, Monday afternoon.
According to the authorities, the suspect was supposed to meet with his ex-girlfriend, alias Ana, 20, to negotiate and reconcile in exchange for deleting the nude photos of the girl that have been spread on social media.
“Nagpapadala siya ng mga pictures nu’ng ating victim sa mga friends niya, sa mga auntie, relatives niya. Ngayon, kapag hindi siya nakipagbalikan o makipagkita dito sa ating suspek, ipagpapatuloy niya ’yung pag-spread ng nude photos ng victim,” said Police Maj. Evangeline Geminiano.
(He sends pictures of our victim to his friends, aunties, relatives. Now, if she does not get back together or meet with our suspect, he will continue to spread nude photos of the victim.)
According to Ana, they have been in a relationship for four years, but she can no longer cope with the pain and jealousy, so she broke up with him, which the suspect cannot accept.

When the suspect created a dummy account using the victim’s nude photos as a profile picture, it was here that the victim confessed to the parent and asked for help from the police.
“Sa sobrang tiwala at pagmamahal nila sa isa’t isa nakakapag-produce sila ng mga nude photos or nude videos. Ngayon ang diperensya dumarating ’yung problema kapag nagkakahiwalay na sila, nagbe-break na sila, lalo na kung hindi matanggap nu’ng isang party,” said Geminiano.
(With their great trust and love for each other, they can produce nude photos or nude videos. Now the difference is that when they separate, they break up, especially if one party doesn’t accept them.)
The suspect has been detained at the Balagtas Municipal Police Station and is facing grave coercion charges, violation of Republic Act 9262 or Violence against Women and their Children, Republic Act 9995 or Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act in relation to RA 10175 or Anti-Cybercrime Prevention Act.
