The victim of an OnlyFans creator’s blackmail plot felt ‘trapped and afraid’.

29-year-old Bethan Guy made unwarranted demands for money from a married man, threatening to expose him to his wife if he didn’t pay up.

At Swindon Crown Court, she was spared time behind bars – with the judge handing down a two-year sentence suspended for two years. Read the full court story >

The defendant targeted the victim, who purchased her explicit content, leaving him “trapped and helpless”, he said in a statement.

He continued: “I didn’t have enough money to pay my rent and bills, which was a huge strain for me.

“I felt I had no choice but to pay the money, as she had made the threats very clear and I was afraid of the devastating affect it would have on my life if I didn’t pay.”

Detective Constable Emma Rossiter, of Wiltshire Police, explained: “Guy met her victim through Snapchat where she was selling adult photos of herself.

“She then began threatening to tell his partner if he did not hand over money.

“Sadly we are seeing increasing numbers of people being blackmailed through social media sites.

“If you’ve been a victim we’d like you to remember, whatever has happened is not your fault, even though you might have been told it is.

“We understand that it might be difficult to report this type of crime to us but we are here to listen and help where we can.”
