Cindy’s story

Even if I had so much of his information, I couldn’t exert any pressure on him. He was so well-prepared.
— Cindy

I knew a lot of personal information about that man. He’s attractive. He always appears cheerful and righteous and has many friends. When he begged me to have ‘sex cam’ with him, I said yes because I trusted him.

Talking about the day where the incident happened. We first had a meal together and he treated me very nicely. He then confessed that he had a crush on me and asked to send me home. But I rejected him. All of sudden, things began to turn sour. He showed me the sex video and said ‘don’t act so arrogantly’. He threatened me— if I wanted the video to be deleted, I must have sex with him. I felt like he had changed into a different person. I tried both soft and hard approaches to stop him— scolded him, threatened to call the police, begged him and pampered him… Even if I had so much of his information, I couldn’t exert any pressure on him. He was so well-prepared. Eventually, I consented to have sex with him at a hotel, in exchange for deleting the sex video. However, he set a camera to secretly film me when I went to the toilet in the hotel room. We had sex as planned, after I uncovered the hidden camera. I was really unsure whether he had destroyed the video, maybe he had uploaded it to iCloud already.   

We kept a distant relationship after all those things happened. He ceased any threatening acts. We still met each other when a bunch of friends came out. Sometimes, he would intentionally bring up the things that happened at the hotel. I didn’t find him feeling guilty at all. On the other hand, he sounded so content because we had shared some kind of secret. I was so pissed off. But what could I do?! … I think I might not report to the police, because it seems he won’t reveal the video and I don’t dare to stimulate him.
