A 21-year-old Winnipeg man is facing numerous extortion charges, accused of threatening to post intimate images online unless he was paid money by victims across four provinces — at least two of whom were minors, police say.
Tongun Justin Tongun, 21, has been charged with 10 counts of extortion, the Winnipeg Police Service said Tuesday.
The investigation began in January after a man in his 20s came forward to Winnipeg police, saying he shared intimate images with someone online who presented themselves as a young woman.
After he sent the images, the man said the accused threatened to share them online unless the victim sent money, according to Winnipeg police.
