Winnipeg police have charged a man accused of extorting people who sent him sexual images of themselves.
Police say Tongun Justin Tongun faces 10 counts of extortion and that the alleged crimes may have international ties.
Officers began their investigation in January, when a man in his 20s said he had sent intimate images of himself to the accused, who had purported to be a young woman.
It’s alleged Tongun then threatened to share the images online unless the victim sent money.
Police say the young man e-transferred money to avoid having his images shared and he then notified police.
Officers identified nine other potential victims across the country and they believe money was transferred overseas….
