Pathmanathan contacted at least 145 young victims between March 2014 and his arrest on March 10, 2021, while posing as a teenage boy from New Jersey.
Throughout this sextortion scheme, he demanded victims engage in sexually explicit conduct via video chat and threatened to send recordings to their friends and family if they refused or blocked his accounts.
Did he ever actually release these videos to their friends and family? I ask because fraud experts say they never do, and if they did, no one would care, not for long, plus now you can say it’s a deep fake.
Never pay them a cent. Laugh, then block. If you pay they will be back for more later.
