A YOUNG blackmailer has been sentenced to 16 months custody after tricking a woman to send him naked pictures of herself.
Connor Haynes, aged 20, warned he would upload the "sexually explicit" images onto Facebook unless she coughed up cash.
Prosecutor Julien Greenwood said: "The woman shared the images with him on WhatsApp. They were sexually explicit.
"Haynes then demanded money from his victim and threatened to publish the material on social media if she did not."
