Teenager, 18, jailed after hacking women's Snapchat accounts and threatened to post nudes

When some friends challenged the messages, Bushi admitted not being the victim, but said if money was not sent to his PayPal account he would send nude pictures of the victim to all their contacts.

"I had a friend who, thinking she was helping me, lost a significant amount of money due to this incident and I feel indebted to her. I was fortunate enough to not be physically injured by this incident, but the long lasting psychological effects impact me every day, and I feel that this is likely to be the case for a long time in the future."Another victim found out private intimate images of her were being posted in Snapchat after colleagues informed her.

Detective Constable Ed Sehmer, investigating officer from the Met's Cyber Crime Unit, said: "Bushi completely violated the victims' privacy all in an attempt to make a quick bit of cash. When his deception did not work, he resorted to blackmail. "This crime type often goes underreported as victims can often feel shame or embarrassment. There is nothing to feel ashamed about.
