Man fined for threatening to send ex-girlfriend's topless photos

A man who threatened to send incriminating photos of his former girlfriend to her family was fined $1,000 today.

Odd-job labourer Soh Kok Hin, 55, had taken topless photos of his ex-girlfriend, a 48-year-old hairdresser, in his car when they were still in a relationship, reported The Straits Times.

When she broke up with him in 2009 after six years of dating, he was unable to accept it. He called her and sent her SMSes to ask why she ended the relationship.

She ignored his repeated attempts to communicate with her.

Finally, in April 2010, he sent her this message while she was at work: 'The photos we took together in the handphone and the photos of your breasts, I will hand over to your family and your brother.'

She then filed a police report. When questioned, Soh admitted that he had done it.

He pleaded guilty to one charge of criminal intimidation with another count considered during sentencing at district court.
