The Chilling Tale of a Blog‑Built Betrayal
Picture this: a 27‑year‑old guy named Muhammad Sufri Azman finds a 22‑year‑old woman on a Tumblr photo‑sharing site. They chat on WeChat about “all the naughty stuff,” meet up at her house, and things go…”… well, deeper than expected, and then ugly.
Step 1 – The First Kiss (and a Picture)
- Dated on Dec 7, 2017 in her apartment.
- After they’re done, he snaps a photo that shows her face and chest WITHOUT her knowing.
- He keeps sending car‑black‑surfing‑style messages, but she’s no longer interested.
- On Dec 30, he sends that incriminating nude photo.
Step 2 – The Threat & The Threesome
“Delete it, or we go for a threesome with a friend,” he demands. She, terrified, says yes. On Jan 3, they meet at a hotel, with a third party tossed into the mix. After the wild night, he tells her he’s deleted the photo, but secretly keeps a copy.
Step 3 – The New Demand
- He asks when the next “party” will be.
- He wants videos of her performing sex acts.
- She refuses, and he responds: “Send me the videos and I’ll stop harassing you.”
- She sends two one‑minute videos.
The Final Blow: Going Live on the Internet
Instead of ceasing the harassment, he uploads both the photo and the videos on his Tumblr. By Feb 7, she reports the incident to the police.
Legal Outcome
- Deputy Public Prosecutor Tow Chew Chi seeks a 10‑month sentence citing deception and coercion.
- Defence lawyer T M Sinnadurai pleads remorse on the client’s behalf.
- Convicted for:
- Insulting the modesty of a woman (up to 1 year jail or fines).
- Two counts of criminal intimidation (up to 2 years each or fines).
- Transmitting or circulating obscene content (up to 3 months each or fines).
- Judge Mathew Joseph, in a stern admonition, says: “You’re lucky the DPP didn’t push for more. This is reprehensible and utterly humbling for everyone involved.”
Key Takeaway
From a harmless chat to an outright violation of trust—his actions crossed every line, from consent to privacy to internet wrongdoing. The outcome? A 10‑month jail term and a stark warning that you’ll never be safe when someone forces a photo or a paid (in fear) threesome in exchange for a deleted picture. The story reminds us that online intimacy must always stay beneath the veil of consent.
