Fatshimetrie recently reported on a court case in Egypt that has shocked the public. A man was sentenced to three years in prison for blackmailing and threatening the daughter of famous singer Sherine Abdel Wahab.
The case, which was heard behind closed doors to protect the victim’s privacy, came to light after the defendant threatened to post compromising photos and videos of the child on social media.
He had demanded money from the victim in exchange for not disclosing the images, but his attempts failed after the victim reported the incident to the authorities.
The court charged the defendant with multiple offenses, including violation of privacy and threatening a child through technology, and technical evidence supported the charges.
Security sources previously revealed new details about the case, indicating that Wahab’s daughter had received threats via the TikTok app due to old photos of her.
These threats caused significant psychological distress to the child, named Hana, who contemplated suicide due to the mental pressure she was under.
In a statement, Hana’s father confirmed that the school informed him of his daughter’s condition after receiving threats on his mobile phone. The father subsequently went to the school to find out more.
He explained that the threats revolved around paying a sum of money to prevent the publication of the child’s old photos.
The father said he went to the cybercrime department to file a complaint, where his daughter’s phone was examined and her conversations were extracted.
The father and daughter were summoned for official questioning, but the child was unable to attend due to her residence with her mother, Abdel Wahab.
The defendant confessed to the crime before the prosecutor, stating that his motive was to extort money from the family after learning that the victim was Abdel Wahab’s daughter.
This case illustrates the threat posed by the misuse of technology to intimidate and harass individuals, especially children. It is crucial that authorities take steps to protect the privacy and security of individuals from such reprehensible acts.
Through this story, it is important to raise awareness of the importance of remaining vigilant online and reporting any harmful behavior to the relevant authorities. The integrity and dignity of every individual must be respected, and it is essential to combat any form of blackmail or threats that exploit personal images for malicious purposes.
