00:00 A man used social media to get recognition.
00:04 He was charged with money in exchange for not releasing his video.
00:08 Rafi Tima was arrested.
00:10 The first one was arrested.
00:17 But the three police officers couldn't do anything and were sent to the ground.
00:22 The man was arrested by the police before he was taken to the city.
00:26 The suspect was caught using his cell phone to get his private activity.
00:34 According to the 35-year-old victim,
00:36 he met the suspect on social media on December 16.
00:40 He immediately refused to show his face.
00:42 That same night, something happened to them.
00:44 He was also caught recording the video of the suspect.
00:47 I asked him, "What are you doing? Are you recording me?"
00:49 He denied it.
00:50 When I looked at him, he was moving to the second tab where he was watching porn.
00:57 On December 17, the suspect started asking for money in exchange for not releasing his video.
01:03 Because of fear, the victim sent money.
01:06 Since then, the suspect has been asking for money almost every day until he reached 35,000 pesos.
01:12 This January, the victim went abroad so he didn't answer.
01:15 But the suspect went to their house.
01:18 He was barangayed.
01:20 From there, I told him not to go here.
01:23 I told him not to go to our house again.
01:27 Don't disturb us.
01:29 Then he promised to go there.
01:31 But instead of stopping, a friend of the suspect sent a screenshot of the video.
01:37 He started asking for money.
01:39 The victim was even included in a social media app that seems to be providing sexual services.
01:44 He complained to the police that the entrapment was too fast.
01:48 We tried to get the suspect's phone number, but we haven't talked to him yet because he's in jail now in Camp Krame.
01:53 He's asking for money out of fear.
01:57 We filed an article 294 against him, rubber extortion of revised penal code, grave coercion, and the Safe Space Act.
02:09 And because of the use of social media, according to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group,
02:13 the suspect will be punished harder if the guilty is proven.
02:17 The penalty is one degree higher.
02:20 Just like rubber extortion, if you're sentenced to six years to 12 years,
02:27 if the court proves that you used information communication technology,
02:32 it will increase from 12 years to 20 years.
02:35 For GMA Integrated News, Rafi Timan, Attention please, 24 hours.
