YEREVAN. – Blackmailing with threats to spread pornographic photos on the Internet continues in the social networking websites among the Armenian users.

Two unknown people contacted a 28-year-old woman, a Yerevan resident, through popular Russian odnoklassniki.ru social network earlier this month demanding AMD 250,000 ($658). They threatened to spread discrediting her porn photos if she refuses to pay, an Armenian News-NEWS.am source informs.

The woman yielded to blackmailing and handed over the money. However, she turned to police on Wednesday. The same day police caught a driver with the money, who was going to hand it over to another man. Police found out that the man, 37-year-old man previously convicted for five times, is presently serving a jail sentence.
