Published on September 17, 2019, a Kenyan woman found herself in a desperate situation after being blackmailed by a man she had a sexual relationship with.
Stacy, who wishes to remain anonymous, met the man on a social media platform, where they started a romantic relationship. However, things took a dark turn when the man began recording their intimate moments without her knowledge or consent.
'I had an affair with someone on social media, I know I messed up but my husband was hurting me at that point and hitting me,' Stacy said in an interview.
She added that she sent him a direct message after seeing his nice comment on a social media post, feeling he was an angel. However, their relationship quickly turned sour when the man started using their intimate videos to extort money from her.
Stacy revealed that she has been giving the man over Ksh 1,724,242, and would have given him more but she is empty and her husband refused to give her money. She even had to sell her car to raise the last money she sent him.
However, the man is now asking for 10 million shillings, leaving Stacy feeling scared and desperate. She fears that if the videos are leaked, her life will be ruined.
Stacy's marriage is also on the verge of breaking, and she fears that her reputation will be damaged beyond repair.
She pleaded with her followers to offer her advice on how to deal with the situation, as she feels like she has no other option but to seek help.
