Man held for ‘sextortion’ try on ex-girlfriend

MANILA, Philippines —  A man who allegedly exposed in public his sex video with his former girlfriend was arrested in Navotas City on Tuesday.

Genesis Bautista, 43, was apprehended by members of the police Anti-Cybercrime Group in an entrapment operation in Barangay Tangos North at around 4:15 p.m.

Bautista’s arrest was based on the complaint of his ex-girlfriend, who told probers the suspect sent their sex videos to her husband.

The suspect also posted the videos on Facebook, but he later deleted the recording.

Bautista is being held on charges of grave coercion and violation of Republic Act 9995 or the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Law in
